Child Identification Kits Available to Alexandria Families

The Center for Alexandria’s Children, in partnership with the Department of Community and Human Services, the Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria Sheriff’s Office, will mark National Child Abuse Prevention month with several events, including offering child identification kits.

City professionals will provide families with SafeAssured Child Identification kits from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on three Saturdays in April:

• April 6 at Cora Kelley Recreation Center
• April 13 at William Ramsey Recreation Center
• April 27 at Charles Houston Recreation Center

SafeAssured kits provide families with information needed by law enforcement and the media to immediately broadcast information unique to a missing child.

Parents receive a completed, ready-to-use ID kit for their child containing a privacy-protected mini-CD that stores personal identification information essential to locating a missing child.

Families also receive a photo data card and a guidebook with prevention tips, written in conjunction with Alexandria-based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

These events are open to the public. For more information, visit http://www.safeassured-id.com/.
