Round Rock PD Event Offers Area Parents ID Kits For Kids

ROUND ROCK, TX — The city of Round Rock invites families to participate in an important event geared to helping parents keep their kids safe. Kids ID at the PD is a program sponsored by the Round Rock Police Department to provide identification kits at no charge for parents of children within the community. According the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 2018 statistics indicate NCMEC assisted law enforcement and families with more than 25,000 cases of missing children.

Sobering statistics like these highlight the importance of preparation for parents in matters of safety and children. The most important tool used by law enforcement tasked with finding a missing child is readily available and up-to-date identifying information including a high-quality photo and fingerprints.

The ability to disseminate information quickly is critical. The information provided for the Kids ID Program includes vital information and details related to the child's appearance, parent/guardian contact information, a color photo and fingerprint capture on digital scanner. Once gathered, the information is printed onto a larger card that is recommenced be stored in a safe but easily accessible location.

The valuable program is offered throughout the year at local schools, churches and public events, however, the Round Rock Police Department will offer this specific event at its RRPD Lobby located at 2701 N. Mays St. For more details, please visit the City of Round Rock website.
