Fingerprint Kits for National Night Out
National Night Out — held every year on the first Tuesday of August — is America's premier community-police awareness event. Millions of neighbors, law enforcement officers, and community leaders gather across the country to strengthen community-police partnerships and promote child safety. Fingerprint kits and child ID kits are one of the most popular and impactful giveaways at National Night Out events. Protect Your Child has been supplying National Night Out events with non-toxic fingerprint kits and bulk ink strips since 1994.
