New York Watch, Guard, or Patrol Agency (WGP) License Practice Exam

Where must the designation for the person taking fingerprints be filed?

1. The local police department

2. The employee's personnel file

3. The Albany office of the Division of Licensing Services

4. The Department of Labor

The correct answer is: The Albany office of the Division of Licensing Services

A is incorrect because the local police department does not necessarily have jurisdiction over all employees and does not have access to all personnel files. B is incorrect because the employee's personnel file may not always be accessible to the designated person taking fingerprints. D is incorrect because the Department of Labor does not typically handle or have access to personnel files. The Albany office of the Division of Licensing Services is the correct answer because this agency is responsible for licensing individuals who are authorized to take fingerprints and therefore would have the designated person's record on file.
