Mercer County Educational Service Center preschooler Mike Rammez gets fingerprinted by Celina Police Chief Dave Slusser during the school's tour of city hall on Monday. The child fingerprinting program, a joint local and state funded project, provides a finger print card to parents for emergency identification purposes. Slusser advises parents to update the fingerprint cards of preschoolers when a child is older to improve the quality of the print, when fingers are a little larger.
