When I was like 5 years old, my mom took me to some fingerprint thing for kids. I don't know why, I think it was like a missing children's thing, in case a kids gets jacked and they find prints somewhere.
Anyway, what I've always wondered is if it's on the police database. I've never done anything to make me worry about it, I'm just curious. |

The only time your fingerprints get on our data base is if you have committed a criminal offence.
To answer you question, NO |

Really?
So my fingerprints from my RCMP application and from working at Brinks would not be on file? |

I am sure you signed something that explained what they could and would be used for when you gave them.
Albeit in a very convoluted legalese way, I am sure. |

The SIU used to before it became CSIS and now CSIS continues to keep those prints on file. I'm not sure if CPIC has access to them or not.
EDIT: Assuming, of course, your check was done at that level. I don't know if it is for Brinks. I think it is for RCMP though. |

If your prints were taken for an application to BRINKS they would be on file for that purpose. The prints were used to confirm your identy and the existence or non existence of a criminal record. They would remain in a data base somewhere.
however, for example, if you made an application to BRINKS and your fingerprints were taken for that purpose, if you did not get caught for a criminal offence that would require you to be fingerprinted and one day you commit a B & E and leave fingerprints behind. member of IDENT, CISU attends the scene and lifts your prints. He would then run them on AFIS and would not get a "hit" or beable to identify you that way.
I un certian as to was an orginization as CISIS would have access to, however in this case your prints would not be on file.
when it comes to prints for "Child Find" i am unaware of any registry that police would check concerning a criminal offence. |

CSIS has access to any and all federal and/or law enforcement databases in North America, as well as Interpol and most Commonwealth nations. If you ever fill out an actual security clearance form (not an enhanced reliability check), your information is stored by CSIS. The logic is simple: you potentially have access to classified/protected information and if your prints turn up somewhere they shouldn't be they may suspend your clearance until such time as they complete an investigation.
Like I said, I'm not sure if RCMP application fit in that group. I've been pondering this, and I don't think RCMP applications do go that far despite my earlier comments. I think you need to apply for an actual security clearance which I don't think you need for general patrol. |

application fingerprints do not stay on record...
if your fingerprints are on file.. you have an FPS number.. if you have an FPS number.. you've been charged with a crime... |

Hey Louis,
I bet you are now regretting swiping those led washer nozzles from Canadian Tire! :rofl:
Anyways back on topic. I remember when I was somewhere around the age of 5 my parents took my bro and I into a mall in Sherwood park to get us fingerprinted for something like the child find. I completely forgot about it until I read this thread.

I think I read one of those fingerprint things at a child seat safety thing I was at earlier this year.
From what I remember there's a little note on the bottom of the card saying that the finger prints would only be used If the child went missing, or if a body had to be identified. Something along those lines. |

Google wins again.
Taken from Child Find Alberta quote:
Where Should The Fingerprint Record Be Kept?
The only copy of the fingerprints is given to the parents. They should be kept in a safe place that will not be forgotten. They are not given to the police unless the child has gone missing.
