The Newtown Police Department is preparing to resume fingerprinting services.  In an effort to keep officers and the public safe during the COVID-19 outbreak, law enforcement departments across the State suspended the services.  Although the exact date is unknown, the Newtown Police Department is drafting policies and procedures for when fingerprinting services are authorized by the Governor to resume.  Procedures may involve, among other things: fingerprinting by appointment only, mandatory facemasks and other PPE, social distancing, and temperature screening. Once the Newtown Police Department is authorized to resume fingerprinting services, an updated message will be posted on their website.  The information will include information on how to make appointments, and necessary safety protocols that must be adhered to.
