Law enforcement making Child ID app available

Event at Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Saturday, May 3

Local and federal law enforcement agencies are teaming up to provide a registration event for the FBI’s Child ID app from 12 to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 3, at the Fort McDowell Recreation Center.

The National Child ID Program has distributed more than 70 million inkless in-home child identification kits since its founding following the disappearance of Anber Hagerman in 1997 (AMBER Alert).

The inkless kits do not enter a database but are stored at home by parents, providing them with a gift of safety they hopefully never need to use, according to organizers.

The kits take two minutes to complete and allow parents to safely store in their onw home the vast majority of their child’s vital information, should law enforcement ever need it.

The event will also feature information on how to file a missing person report, multiple agencies will be in one location to answer questions, access resources needed to search for a missing family member, connections to support services, information and resources available from NamUs, NCMEC and other agencies as well as the child fingerprinting and DNA collection for personal safekeeping.

The Fort McDowell Recreation Center is located at 16402 N. Fort McDowell Rd.
