Texas Law Enforcement & Child Safety Organizations
These Texas organizations run child fingerprinting and identification programs that use Protect Your Child products:
National Night Out in Texas
Texas hosts more National Night Out events than any other state. Every first Tuesday of August, thousands of Texas police departments, sheriff offices, and community organizations host NNO block parties — and child fingerprinting is one of the most popular activities at these events.
Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and Fort Worth alone account for hundreds of NNO events each year. Protect Your Child ships bulk cases of 2,400 ink strips to Texas law enforcement agencies in time for NNO every year. Order by July 15 to guarantee delivery before the first Tuesday of August.
