Child ID Program Coming to Westbury

A free program to help parents keep their children’s important information on a single, wallet sized ID card will be administered in Westbury.

KidPix, a photo ID program in Westbury, is being held on on Wednesday, Aug.13, from 3-5 p.m. at the Westbury Public Library at 445 Jefferson Street.

The KidPix card includes the child’s name, physical description, contact information, and photograph. The child’s fingerprint is also included on the back of the card. In the event that a child goes missing, parents can give the KidPix card to law enforcement as a helpful tool to help return the child home more quickly.

Nassau County children of all ages can participate in the KidPix program. Photos and fingerprints will be processed on-site and families will be able to take their KidPix cards home right from the event. Families will be served on a first come, first served basis. No appointments are required.

For more information about the program call Sen. Jack Martins’ office at 516-746-5924 or County Executive Mangano’s office at 516-571-3131.
