Re: Change in Fingerprinting Procedures

Effective May 24, 2010, the Franklin Township Police Department will no longer fingerprint volunteer firefighter and EMS personnel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  A new State imposed fingerprinting program was established and as a result, the Police Department has implemented a new system for fingerprinting.  Fingerprinting will only be done by appointment.  The new procedure for volunteer background fingerprinting is as follows:

Contact Professional Services at 732-873-5533, x2028  to schedule your appointment for fingerprinting.  If leaving a voicemail, please be sure to clearly leave your name, volunteer agency and your contact numbers, preferably a cell phone.

Corporal Cerra will contact all applicants with availability for fingerprinting and schedule the appointment accordingly. 

Note: Fingerprinting must now be performed on our Live Scan system, which is located in the prisoner cell block.  If a prisoner is in custody, civilians CANNOT be in the prisoner cell block area.  Appointments are subject to IMMEDIATE CANCELLATION if a prisoner is in custody at the time of the appointment.  Appointments will be re-scheduled accordingly.
