SERVICES WE OFFER <br /> Finqerprints <br /> After acquiring an Identix fingerprint machine in 2017, our numbers for fingerprinting surged. <br /> Our fingerprint machine allows us to take fingerprints quickly and efficiently, making it a <br /> convenient service. Citizens mainly come to our department if they need fingerprints taken for <br /> employment, firearms, foster care or day care. Fingerprints are taken on an ongoing basis by <br /> appointment only, Monday through Friday during regular business hours. There is a $10.00 fee <br /> for this service. <br /> House Watch & Extra Patrol <br /> Citizens may request a house watch when their home will be vacant for an extended period of <br /> time such as a weekend away or a vacation home that will be vacant during the winter. House <br /> watch forms are available at our police department and on our web page. <br /> Extra patrol requests may be made if there are ongoing concerns in an area. For example, a <br /> citizen may request extra patrol at an intersection in their neighborhood if several vehicles are <br /> rolling through the stop sign. These requests may be made with a phone call to the office. <br /> House watch checks and extra patrol are performed by officers on both day and night shift. If an <br /> officer finds anything out suspicious at the location, they will investigate and notify the <br /> homeowner, if applicable. <br /> The Pequot Lakes Police Department received 11 house watch requests as well as 4 extra <br /> patrol requests during 2019. <br /> Gun Permits <br /> Minnesota law requires a resident to have a Permit to Purchase or Transfer in order to obtain a <br /> handgun through a purchase, sale, gift, loan, assignment or other delivery from another person. <br /> If a resident has a valid permit to carry a handgun, that permit constitutes a permit to purchase. <br /> The City of Pequot Lakes and City of Jenkins residents who do not have a permit to carry must <br /> go to the Pequot Lakes Police Department to apply for a Permit to PurchaselTransfer. State <br /> law requires law enforcement agencies to conduct a series of background-related checks to <br /> assure the eligibility requirements established in state law are met. <br /> During 2019, Pequot Lakes Police department processed applications for 31 gun permits to <br /> purchase to residents in the City of Pequot Lakes and the City of Jenkins. <br /> � 9 <br />
