Pre-Employment Fingerprints
The Bethel Police Department provides pre-employment fingerprinting services only for Bethel residents ($10 exact cash/check) and applications for employment in Bethel ($20 exact cash/check). This service is provided by appointment only on Tuesdays from 3:30 PM until 6:00 PM. Anyone looking to obtain fingerprints for employment must be given a Pre-Enrollment code provided by their employer and must visit the CT Criminal History Request System to Pre-Enroll.

Appointments can be made by contacting 203-744-7900 ext. 107 once Pre-Enrollment has been completed.
The fee is $10.00 per card for Bethel residents and $20 for non-residents (only when applying for employment in Bethel). There is no fee for Bethel Board of Education applicants.
Your prospective employer is responsible for pre-registration with the state of Connecticut.
Pistol Permit Fingerprints
Pistol permit applicants are required by the State of Connecticut to Pre-Entroll for fingerprints. Applicants will receive an email with fingerprinting instructions once their pistol permit application has been accepted.
Once pre-enrollment is complete, each applicant will receive an Applicant Tracking Number form. This form MUST be printed and is REQUIRED to make a pistol permit fingerprinting appointment. Pistol permit fingerprints are done by appointment on Tuesdays from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM.
Fingerprints CANNOT be submitted to the state without the Applicant Tracking Number. Appointments can be made by contacting 203-744-7900 ext. 107.
The CT Criminal History Request System is the website for Pistol Permit Pre-Enrollment. A service code will be provided to each applicant.
