The American Football Coaches Association and FBI’s National Child ID Program, along with the FBI National Citizens Academy Alumni Association, have joined efforts with Gov. Charlie Crist, Florida State Head Coach Bobby Bowden and the Walmart Foundation to provide 201,000 Child ID Kits to students in Florida.
A $186,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation will provide an ID kit to
all kindergarten students throughout the state through their schools. Kits for Osceola County students will be sent home with students in the next several weeks. The Child ID Kit is the only FBI-approved DNA/fingerprinting kit of its kind and provides parents with a non-intrusive means of collecting their child’s identifiable information, including fingerprints, DNA, physical characteristics and picture and have it recorded and stored at home. In the event of an emergency, the Child ID Kit can be provided by the parent to give law enforcement vital information and to assist their efforts to locate a missing child.
More than one million Child ID Kits will be distributed across the country now and throughout the fall. Indiana, Michigan, South Carolina, and Ohio join Florida in this effort to protect children.
The Florida Association of District School Superintendents and Florida Sheriffs Association are also partnering in the program.
