Arrested juveniles may be photographed if the investigating detective deems it necessary for identification or investigative purposes.  If so, Stations/Unit equipped with photographic equipment may take their own photos; or the detective shall send a JDIC request to Scientific Services Bureau, Latent Prints section, which will provide a print Deputy to take photos of the juvenile.  Include the name of the subject and file number in the request.

Juveniles should be fingerprinted and/or photographed before sending them to any Probation Department facility.  Police may fingerprint and photograph minors in juvenile hall.
