What is the function of an FD-249 form?

  1. Medical treatment authorization

  2. Fingerprint card

  3. Traumatic injury report

  4. Re-Occurring injury documentation

The correct answer is: Fingerprint card

The FD-249 form is specifically designed as a fingerprint card used by law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This form captures the fingerprints of individuals for identification purposes, primarily in relation to background checks and investigations. It is often utilized during the hiring process for law enforcement personnel, as well as for other legal and administrative purposes, such as security clearances. The detailed structure of the FD-249 ensures that the fingerprints collected are of a high quality and meet federal standards, making it an essential tool in criminal justice and border security applications. In contrast, the other options pertain to entirely different functions unrelated to fingerprinting. Medical treatment authorization and reports on injuries serve specific health and safety documentation purposes, while re-occurring injury documentation specifically focuses on tracking ongoing medical concerns. Each of those forms addresses needs in healthcare and worker safety rather than the identification processes that the FD-249 is concerned with.
