Founder
The late Jeff Schweig founded Capital Live Scan in 2005 after retiring as a police officer with over fifteen years of service — the last five years serving as a Sexual Assault Investigator. He was also a California court-recognized expert in juvenile sexual assault investigations. Jeff started CLS in 2005 on the premise of “protecting our communities one fingerprint at a time.” He believed in providing individuals and organizations with a technology driven, low cost and efficient process for obtaining live scan fingerprints statewide. His legacy and dedication to protecting his community lives on through Capital Live Scan and is continued by his dedicated employees, customers and wife, Linda Schweig, the Chief Executive Officer of CLS.
