Sounds great but I can't travel to Utah just for that class. I'm thinking I may have to check around with some smaller surrounding agencies. Like may be a university police department. Right now, fingerprinting is the only CHL service I can't provide.llwatson wrote:G.C. - I understand your frustration trying to find someone to certify you. We (hubby and I) checked just about every agency in Tarrant and Denton counties. No one would certify us to do prints. All said they only certify their own employees.
Utah DPS, however, was happy to certify us to do prints when we got our CFP Instructor certification there. It was a 4 hour class with plenty of practice printing everyone else in the class.
After class, the instructor typed up a letter to Texas DPS for us that said we were qualified and certified to take fingerprints. All we had to do was fax it to DPS here, and now we can do prints in Texas.
Best part is, Utah charged us NOTHING for the class!

Anyone know of an agency in the Houston area willing to supply the required letter? HPD stopped as of last month...Chief Hurtt cited "liability" to the department as the reason. HCSD stopped more than a year ago. I am still waiting to hear back from a friend at the Pct 7 Constable's Office but I'm not holding my breath.
I've heard the state is really pushing the electronic prints. And that's fine, but many students really don't understand the benefit of the electronic prints and prefer the one-stop shop setup where everything is done onsite. I would like to be able to provide that service but I'm coming up empty on Harris County agencies that will sign off on me doing prints.
