Lieutenant Governor Hall-Long Partners with UAW and the National Child Identification Program to Protect Delaware Children
New measures are being put into place to ensure parents have over 90% of the information authorities need should a child ever go missing. The UAW is set to provide 360,000 identification kits to protect the children of Delaware in partnership with the National Child Identification Program. Delaware families will receive an inkless, at-home child ID kit in the spring. The child identification kit allows parents to store the necessary information law enforcement needs to find a missing child. The parent or guardian will store the kits at home–the information will not enter a database. Each kit includes an inkless fingerprint identification card, inkless fingerprint activation solution, DNA storage of a child鈥檚 saliva, place for a recent photo, location of medical/dental records, and a physical description section to note any distinguishing features.
Delaware Lieutenant Governor Bethany Hall-Long says this free, easy, and effective tool will allow Delaware families to prepare for the unimaginable–adding that when a child goes missing, every minute matters.
