Question about background check and prints

[charlie12]

I went with my girlfriend to LSP Hq today to do her background check for a job. The place she's going to work gave her a money order for the background check and one for her prints.
I talked to a man that was there with his daughter getting hers and he said they were from Lake Charles. So I asked him if they had to come all the way from LC just to do that and he said yes.

So what's the deal do you have to go to LSP Hq for all that stuff? My girlfriend said she was told (not by LSP) that LSP Hq was the only one that did digital prints and you had to go there.

Does all that sound right?

I have heard that same thing, and had ink prints done at the Denham police for my CHP. They did not like them and had to go to LSP and spend more money. I have had jobs that have their own digital machines to do FBI background checks, although I was in other states when they were taken.

Harahan PD does digital prints I believe.

Other places do digital prints.
The Sheriffs office in Marksville does(had mine done there for CHP) and I'm fair key certain Opelousas does digital as well.

I remember during the CHP rush many people would go to LSP Hq to do prints and turn in their app which was processed much faster than by mail.

I got my digital prints done at the Lafourche Parish jail.

Jefferson Parish Sheriffs office in Gretna does it for a fee.

Jefferson Parish Sheriffs office in Gretna does it for a fee.

What's the fee? 5-10 years?

Terrebonne Sheriff's office does digital prints.

St Tammany and St. Bernard do digital also. I'd assume digital is the norm now.

 

[topgunz1]

digital is pretty much the norm for jails, but not all will do them for the public

I will say that I had called at... I think the Plaquemine city sheriff's office (it's on my way to work), and they were still doing ink. That was about 4 years ago. No idea if they switched to digital by now though.

I want to say it was like $8.

It seems like they are set up to do them on a walk-in basis.

I had to get them there when I applied for my parish permit.

BRPD did mine for about $10. Can't say if they do it for everyone though.

St. Tammany, Covington, and Mandeville PD will do prints for $10 per card. A friend of mine works for the LSP and said if they don't accept the ink prints, they are just lazy and want you to come and do the digital prints. IIRC, TWIC offices do digital prints.
