77 LiveScan fingerprint scanners introduced in Ohio courts, funded by a $898,450 grant, improve criminal-records repository accuracy and modernize record-keeping.

77 new LiveScan fingerprint scanners are being introduced in Ohio courts, funded by a $898,450 National Criminal History Improvement Program grant. These devices, distributed in 42 counties, will improve the accuracy and completeness of the state's criminal-records repository by automating the submission of defendants' fingerprints to the state's Computerized Criminal History database. This move aims to close gaps in defendant fingerprinting and modernize the record-keeping system.
