Danvers Police Firearms Fingerprint Machine On The Fritz

DANVERS, MA — Those seeking a firearms license in Danvers will have to wait until at least sometime next month to get the fingerprints necessary for the permit.

Danvers police said on Tuesday that their fingerprint machine is broken and they cannot process any new applications, or renewal applications that were initially issued by another department, at this time.

The new machine is expected in next week, but the department wants to make sure everything is a full go before scheduling appointments. Police said they anticipate the new appointments for October will be added to the department's website booking platform next week.

Police said those who had appointments canceled will be contacted through the email provided at registration to schedule a new appointment. Those with an appointment do not need to sign up for a new one.
