According to national statistics, nearly a million children are reported lost, missing, or separated from their parents each year. In far too many cases, law enforcement agencies are thwarted in their efforts to locate lost and missing children by the lack of current and accurate descriptions, fingerprints and high quality photographs. As we have learned, being able to respond immediately offers the best chance for safe recovery.
For over 20 years Ident-A-Kid has provided pioneering programs and expert services designed to protect the safety of our children. Ident-A-Kid issues over three million Immediate Response Child Rescue Identification cards each year to parents, schools and communities throughout the United States. The Ident-A-Kid card is a driver's license-like card that contains a child’s photograph, fingerprint and description. Parents keep the card with them at all times and, in an emergency, can provide law enforcement with crucial information for immediate response.
As one of the America’s most responsive, respected and ardent advocates of child safety, Ident-A-Kid is committed to ongoing educational and safety initiatives that offer parents and schools effective tools and knowledge to keep kids safe.
If you would like to obtain a card for your child you can contact your local Program Director. There may also be a program at your child’s school, if not, we encourage you to contact your principal and inquire about an Ident-A-Card program for your school.
When the Ident-A-Kid program was brought to my attention in the winter of 1999 I immediately knew this was a program that I wanted to be a play a role in.
My background is with the United States Air Force and the department of defense. I proudly served our country both in the active duty military and as a defense contractor for ten years. Upon leaving the department of defense I pursued a career in network marketing, which allowed me the opportunity to work with and help a lot of people. I have always felt that it is important to help others and to make a difference in people’s lives. I believe that each one of us has an obligation to our communities and ourselves to use our God given abilities to make a difference.
The Ident-A-Kid program was to me a way to impact the lives of thousands of people in my community by helping to make sure their children are safer. If my efforts assist just one lost child to be safely returned to their family it will all be worth it!
I sincerely appreciate all of the positive feed back that I have already received from the schools and the parents I have had the pleasure of serving.
