Working in US-fingerprints

Hello all.

I realize this question may have been asked before. I am a US citizen working in Switzerland and hoping to return to the USA (specifically California) for work next year. California requires fingerprints for the background check and I've tried to contact the local authority about this on several occasions but have yet to get a reply or a live human on the phone.

My question is this: can I go through local law enforcement (Swiss police) in order to obtain VALID fingerprints so that I may submit my application to work as a PT in California

Please note that the fingerprint request is standard in the US, not just California, so most foreign-qualified PTs will have been required to go through this process.

Thanks to anyone that can lend a hand!
