Kathy — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:43:14 +0000

Thanks to everyone that responded to the request for security assistance in Haiti. The five groups that were in need of assistance were:
-CCH
-Convoy of Hope
-Oxfam
-Partners In Health
-Clinton Foundation
If you responded, your name was placed on a list with the above groups.
We are told the UN forces are in Haiti, so the urgent need for security has subsided at this time.

New CJIS/Licensing Division Fingerprint Procedures

Kathy — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 04:13:35 +0000

Effective 1/1/2010. ALL fingerprints must be submitted electronically. This can be accomplished at several LiveScan sites throughout the State.
Find Locations and Procedures

The Licensing Division will no longer accept fingerprint related fees. An authorization code, pertaining to the purpose of the prints, will be available at each LiveScan location.

YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR APPLICAT10N TO THE LICENSING DIVISION WITHIN 72 HOURS OF BEING ELECTRONICALLY FINGERPRINTED.

Attach the fingerprint receipt to your application. Keep a copy of the receipt with your copy of the application. It is also suggested that you request the location to print out the fingerprints for you to keep in case there is an issue of rejection at a later date.

*Those applicants that live in a state that does not border Maryland may continue to submit fingerprint cards. All other fingerprint cards will be rejected.

Note the online registration form may not be available right away. Please check and if experiencing difficulty, contact the LiveScan location you have selected.

We have been told the cost at state facilities will be $55.25. Private LiveScan locations may be slightly more or less.

This change is a CJIS policy and the Licensing Division must comply.

CJIS Fingerprinting Scheduled Change January, 2010

Kathy — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:55:00 +0000

According to Sgt. Jimmy Russell of the Licensing Division of the Maryland State Police, CJIS has mandated that no more hard cards will be accepted after January, 2010. All fingerprint submissions will be via LiveScan.
While there are a number of issues to be worked out, there are currently 7 locations throughout the state set up for LiveScan fingerprinting, Private detectives, security guards and security systems technicians will no longer submit the fees to the state police for fingerprinting. The fingerprint fees will be paid to the location at the time of the fingerprinting. The cost for FBI and CJIS fingerprinting is expected to be $55.25 to as much as $60.00. A copy of the receipt for the LiveScan fingerprinting is to be submitted with the applications.
The Licensing Division is expecting submission of the application and the receipt within 24 hours of submitting the fingerprints. The FBI has told the Division that they expect the turn around time to be within 24 hours.
At of this writing, you have to make an appointment through the CJIS website to have the LiveScan fingerprints. It should also be noted that a few of the MVA locations showing LiveScan ability do not yet have the machines installed. One of those is the Bel Air MVA.
Licensing Division representatives will be meeting with the FBI, CJIS, representatives from Delaware and Virginia on November 19th. More information will be available after that.
