SERVIJCESWE OFFER <br /> Fingerprints <br /> After acquiring an Identix fingerprint machine in 2017,our numbers for fingerprinting surged. Our <br /> fingerprint machine allows us to take fingerprints quickly and efficiently, making it a convenient service. <br /> Citizens mainly come to our department if they need fingerprints taken for employment,firearms, foster <br /> care or day care. Fingerprints are taken on an ongoing basis by appointment only, Monday through <br /> Friday during regular business hours.There is a$10.00 fee 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 time such <br /> as a weekend away or a vacation home that will be vacant during the winter. House watch forms are <br /> available at our police department and on our web page. Extra patrol requests may be made if there are <br /> ongoing concerns in an area. For example, a citizen may request extra patrol at an intersection in their <br /> neighborhood if several vehicles are rolling through the stop sign. <br /> These requests may be made with a phone call to the office. House watch checks and extra patrol are <br /> performed by officers on both day and night shift. If an officer finds anything out suspicious at the <br /> location, they will investigate and notify the homeowner, if applicable. <br /> Gun Permits <br /> Minnesota law requires a resident to have a Permit to Purchase or Transfer in order to obtain a handgun <br /> through a purchase, sale,gift, loan,assignment or other delivery from another person. If a resident has <br /> 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 go to the <br /> Pequot Lakes Police Department to apply for a Permit to Purchase/Transfer. State law requires law <br /> enforcement agencies to conduct a series of background-related checks to assure the eligibility <br /> requirements established in state law are met. <br /> During 2021, Pequot Lakes Police department processed applications for 66 gun permits to purchase to <br /> residents in the City of Pequot Lakes and the City of Jenkins. <br /> Page 19 <br />
