Kindergarten
Fingerprinting:
Kindergarten printing has been going on for the past few years.
Besides fingerprints, other information like hair color and eye
color are also collected as well. Before the Hamlin County
Sheriff's Office does the fingerprinting, parents are asked to fill
out information and a permission sheet. The information about the
child along with the fingerprints are sent home for safe keeping.
