Explorers are available to perform civilian fingerprinting and bicycle registration every Tuesday from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. and Saturday from 10:00 AM to noon. Appointments are not needed, but you must provide proper identification (photo ID driver’s license, etc.) for fingerprints. Bicycle registration requires your bike’s serial number and identifying features.
