Marietta Police to Give Free Child ID Kits to Parents
The Child ID Kits contain inkless fingerprinting capabilities, a DNA swab, a place for a current photo and an area to include information about your child.
The Marietta Police Department has invested in a program to help protect children.
On Saturday, May 18, 2013 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Marietta Police Officers will be on hand in the lobby of the Marietta Police Department to hand out free Child ID Kits.
The officers will assist parents on how to complete the kits and will fingerprint their children if desired.

Completed kits will stay with the families and not the police department. This is important because if a family moves or goes on vacation and they become separated from their children, they will have these completed kits on hand to give to the appropriate law enforcement agency where ever they may be.
