It depends on the department. How small it is, what equipment they have as a department, and what the back log of fingerprints that need to be identified or examined is. The speed also caries depending on what system you're running it through. For instance if you run it through an international fingerprint identification database it will take longer than if you ran it through a national fingerprint identification database. Same concept applies to statewide vs nationwide.
