Masonic Lodge to perform Free Child ID Program in Rochester

Rochester Child ID Program

On Saturday June 4th, the Stony Creek Masonic Lodge #5 will be providing a free child identification program. The event will be conducted between the hours of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm at the Rochester Police Department, which is located at 400 Sixth Street in Rochester. The program is being provided as a part of the Rochester Police Department's Open House.

Each Child that goes through the process will receive a dental impression kit as well as a CD containing photo, video, digital fingerprints and their vital information. Parents or legal guardians of children who participate must be present and fill our a permission slip for the child to receive this service. Children who have already received the service are encouraged to repeat the process every two years to keep the information in the completed packets current.

The Michigan Child Identification program provides the family with everything needed for the Amber Alert System. Since 2005, over eighty thousand Michigan children have received this valuable service. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children considers the Michigan Child Identification Program to be one of the most comprehensive of its kind.
