Sheriff's Department
Child ID Programs
Professional child fingerprint kits for county-wide child safety programs. Used by sheriff's departments across all 50 states for community outreach, county fairs, school events, and missing child prevention programs.
The Standard for Sheriff's Department Child ID Programs
Sheriff's departments have a unique responsibility: protecting children across entire counties, often spanning rural areas, small towns, and suburban communities. A county-wide child ID program is one of the most impactful public safety initiatives a sheriff's office can run — and Protect Your Child has been the trusted supplier for these programs since 1994.
Our non-toxic fingerprint kits and pre-inked ink strips are designed for exactly the kind of high-volume, multi-location events that sheriff's departments run. Deputies can fingerprint children at county fairs, school visits, community safety days, and National Night Out events — all with the same portable, mess-free kit.
When a child goes missing in your county, every minute matters. A child ID program ensures that parents have current fingerprint records, photos, and physical descriptions on hand — dramatically improving the speed and accuracy of missing child reports. It is one of the most cost-effective public safety investments a sheriff's department can make.

Sheriff's Department Child Safety Programs
From county fairs to school visits, our kits support every type of sheriff's department child ID program.
County Fair Child ID Stations
County fairs draw thousands of families — the perfect opportunity for a sheriff's department to run a high-volume child ID program. Our cases of 2,400 ink strips are designed for exactly this kind of large-scale event.
School & Library Outreach
Deputies visiting schools and libraries can run child ID programs with minimal setup. Our portable kits require no power and can be set up in minutes. Many sheriff's departments partner with school districts for back-to-school fingerprinting events.
National Night Out
National Night Out is the premier community policing event of the year. Sheriff's departments across the country use our kits at NNO events every August. Order early — demand peaks in July.
Missing Child Prevention Programs
Proactive child ID programs are the foundation of missing child prevention. When every child in a county has a current fingerprint record on file with parents, recovery times improve dramatically.
Community Safety Days
Community safety days, health fairs, and public safety expos are ideal for child ID programs. A fingerprinting station draws families and creates positive interactions between deputies and the community.
Neighborhood Watch Partnerships
Sheriff's departments that partner with neighborhood watch organizations can extend their child ID programs into every corner of the county. Our kits are simple enough for trained civilian volunteers to operate under deputy supervision.
