Community Policing
Child Fingerprint Kits
America's most trusted child ID kits for community police officers, neighborhood watch programs, and police outreach events. Non-toxic, portable, and ready for any event — from National Night Out to school safety fairs.
Why Community Police Officers Run Child ID Programs
Community policing is built on trust — and nothing builds trust with families faster than a child ID program. When a community police officer takes the time to fingerprint a child and hand parents a take-home ID card, it sends a powerful message: we are here to protect your family.
Child ID programs also serve a critical safety function. In the event a child goes missing, law enforcement needs accurate identification records immediately. A professionally captured fingerprint set, combined with a current photo and physical description, dramatically improves the chances of a safe recovery.
Protect Your Child has been supplying community police officers, school resource officers, and neighborhood watch programs with professional-grade child ID kits since 1994. Our non-toxic ink strips and complete fingerprint kits are designed for high-volume community events — portable, mess-free, and trusted by thousands of departments nationwide.
