Safe Child ID Program

Possessing up-to-date photos and important information about one’s child are important proactive measures a parent can take to assist law enforcement should a child disappear.

To assist parents in this endeavor, I'm hosting my “Operation Safe Child” ID program on May 11th at the East Meadow Public Library (1886 Front Street, East Meadow), from 2:00 to 5:00 pm, in conjunction with Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas. Families who participate will receive a free, walled-sized ID card containing a child’s name, biographical information (date of birth, age, gender, height, weight, hair and eye color) and a fingerprint image of both index fingers.

The card is created in under two minutes. It can be carried in a wallet or purse.

Interested parents can also choose to store the fingerprints, basic biographical information and photos of children – this information may be critical in the event of a lost or missing child. The storage of the information is entirely voluntary and requires the express written consent of a parent legal guardian.

The program is free, and no appointments are required.
