When a child goes missing, every minute is precious. Law enforcement needs accurate information and quickly.
The quality of that information can make all the difference in locating a child. The Operation Safe Child program provides parents with an identification card for their children containing pertinent physical information to give law enforcement officials a head start on a missing child.
EQUIPMENT
Using equipment that contains the latest digital fingerprinting technology and high-resolution photography, our office can work with your school or group to provide free Safe Child Cards for parents.
WHAT'S ON THE CARD
The cards contain a child’s name, biographical information, fingerprint images of both index fingers and a high-resolution digital photo. In addition, the fingerprints of that child will be included in a special search file and compared against all incoming fingerprints submitted to the agency. The office has successfully produced over 10,000 cards for children in Nassau County and is looking to bring this program to all interested parents and schools. The service is free and we are eager to have the Safe Child team at your school or community event.
