kID Print Program

About the kID Print Program

The kID Print Program is a free child identification service supported by the Anchor Bay Community Foundation Justin Mello Memorial Fund. It gives parents and guardians a durable, professional ID card containing their child's vital information, a critical resource if a child ever goes missing.

The program uses a card printer, laptop computer, video camera, medical scale and fingerprint capture device. A parent completes a short form with the child's name, date of birth, eye color, height, weight and parent or guardian contact information. A thumbprint is captured, a photo is taken, and the data is entered into the department database and printed on a plastic identification card.

The department also administers the "Be Smart, Don't Start" anti-smoking campaign in conjunction with the program, sharing a prevention message with the same families it serves.

How the Program Works

• A parent or guardian completes a form with the child's name, date of birth, eye color, height and weight
• A thumbprint is captured with the fingerprint capture device
• A photo is taken on site
• The information is entered into the Chesterfield Township Police Department database
• A durable plastic ID card is printed and given to the parent at no charge
