Child ID Program
The Child ID program is a program generated, originally by the Grand Lodge to properly identify children so as to be able to locate them quicker if for any reason they are missing. The program was started several years ago and now has become an integral part of our Lodges. We will set up and photograph children, giving the ONLY copy to the parents or gaurdiens. This photo will be of use in case their child is missing. The Law inforcement people can put this photo on the alert system instantly in some casses and assist in locating the child. The people who take the photos do NOT keep a copy. The only thing that is kept by the Lodge is the permission slip.
FREE Child ID
Often we read newspaper accounts about children who disappear, as a result of an accident or abduction. How would you assist the police with information about your child if he or she was in trouble?
The AMBER Alert™ Program is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry, to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. The goal of an “AMBER Alert” is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of the child.
Parents have the opportunity for their children to be formally identified using the “EZ Child ID System” (http://www.ezchildid.com/). This program provides parents or guardians with free digitized photographs, fingerprints, and descriptive information that is compatible with the Amber Alert system.
Using information provided by the parent or guardian, Child ID workers will take all ten fingerprints, three photographs of the child, and a short video which captures the child’s voice and facial expressions. All of this information is burned on a CD and printed page. The printed page has the child’s picture, fingerprints, and two ID cards. In a time of need the CD can be given to law enforcement for an immediate “Amber Alert.”
No information is retained in the computer. Before the next child’s information is entered all previous data is deleted.
Consider this FREE protection for your child.
