11 Services Bureau-Court Security Not everyone facing charges goes right to jail. They receive bond or are issued a summons to show up in court later. If convicted, we use the LiveScan system to get their fingerprints, take their mugshots, and get DNA in some cases. In 2024, more than 800 people were processed for incarceration using this technology. Another responsibility of the Services Bureau is to try to find relatives of people who have died and their remains have not been claimed. When no next-of-kin is found or when relatives do not want to claim the deceased, we go to court for a judge to approve the dignified disposition of the body.
