AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine's fingerprinting technology is going to get a significant upgrade thanks to help from the federal government.

The U.S. Department of Justice's National Criminal History Improvement Program is granting the Maine Department of Public Safety more than $1.4 million to replace outdated fingerprinting systems. The money will also help improve access to criminal records.
