Penobscot County Sheriff's Office
Identification Division
     The Identification Officer manages all aspects of the photographic, fingerprint, and other related identification tasks. The ID officer prepares photo lineups for other police agencies, as well as the deputies. It is also the responsibility of the ID Officer to manage all fingerprints as it pertains to inmate records and civilian fingerprinting for adoption, firearm dealers, passports, etc. The media is frequently in touch with the ID Officer to gather inmate photos for news broadcasts. Additional duties of the Identification Officer are to manage all evidence submitted to the agency, as well as digital storage of all photos taken by patrols and investigators. The lab has transitioned from standard chemical development of film to new digital images. Each cruiser is equipped with a digital camera, which dramatically improves the number and quality of images being submitted. Requests for copies of photographs by calling (207)947-4585 during regular business hours or in writing at the agency's address (see Records for fee listings).
