Vail Police announce changes to fingerprinting rules

 VAIL — The Vail Police Department is changing its public fingerprinting services to comply with a new program implemented by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation which has been designed to streamline the Colorado Applicant Background Services process. As a result, fingerprinting services previously offered by the Vail Police Department have been modified.

Effective immediately, Vail is prohibited from processing civilian fingerprints for non-residents. Fingerprinting will continue to be offered for law enforcement-specific purposes as well as civilians who live in Vail.

Non-residents are being referred to the state’s digital fingerprint submission process, which requires online registration at http://www.IdentoGO.com or http://www.coloradofingerprinting.com.

Area fingerprint processing centers include:

• Avon, by appointment only: 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
