ARIZONA LIVESCAN REACTS TO REJECTED FINGERPRINTS
Arizona Livescan points the finger at a lack of governmental oversight of fingerprint rollers who are neither licensed, registered nor certified by the state. But they can offer the service anyway plus they use error prone ink pads. Arizona Livescan is the only private fingerprinting agency in the area using state of the art technology that validates each fingerprint. CEO and founder, Paula Wilson, quotes a report from the Arizona Republic that over 7,000 fingerprint cards were rejected in the past three months. As a commitment to the community, Arizona Livescan will offer free fingerprinting to anyone who has had their fingerprints rejected due to poor quality. To qualify, you must be able to submit your original receipt for the fingerprinting service from a Maricopa County based law enforcement agency or business and a copy of the rejection notice. For more information, call 602-246-3444. RIBBON CUTTING AT MAIDS OF HONOR HOUSECLEANING
