Staff Report

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office has expanded its Live Scan fingerprinting service by allowing “walk-ins” on Wednesdays in addition to appointments on other days.

The service is used by people who need to provide fingerprints for employment purposes and some volunteer positions.

Walk-ins are welcome from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays at the sheriff’s Santa Barbara and Santa Maria stations.

Appointments can be made during those hours on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday by calling 805-681-4357 (Santa Barbara) or 805-934-6175 (Santa Maria).
