Thank you. In case it is helpful, the big thing I am trying to understand is whether any people who were arrested during Covid who would normally have been fingerprinted or asked to provide DNA samples were NOT fingerprinted for safety reasons. Do you know the answer? (I am surveying law enforcement agencies across the country.)
Also is your department the only one in your county that would have been booking arrestees in that time?
I'm happy to speak by phone if that's easier.
Thanks so much,

Good Morning,

In response to your question "people who were arrested during Covid who would normally have been fingerprinted or asked to provide DNA samples were NOT fingerprinted for safety reasons. Do you know the answer?"

We have not changed our fingerprint or DNA collection protocol during the pandemic. Yes, our agency is the only agency in Yavapai County that accepts bookings for in custody arrests.

The rest of your request is still being processed. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!
