Fingerprinting

In order to comply with the requirements of their release from custody, people charged with a criminal offence must attend the police facility to have their fingerprints and photograph taken. The date to have that done will be specified in the release documents provided to them when they are released from custody. All fingerprinting of offenders for the Kingston Police Service is carried out at the following location:

Kingston Police Service
705 Division Street
Kingston, Ontario
K7K 4C2

Charged parties will need to ensure they have their release form and suitable identification with them when they attend for fingerprinting and photographs.

Getting your fingerprints taken off the police computer system

Adult fingerprints and photographs are permanently retained on the police computer system. In order to have this information removed from the police computer system the affected party will have to obtain a pardon from the government. Please see our sections on Pardons to learn more.
