OPERATION KIDSAFE: A free child safety event will be held at Kiddie Academy of Stoughton, 1202 Washington Street, on Saturday, March 2, 2013, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Operation KidSafe captures your child’s photo and fingerprints using a digital ink-less video capture device, and specialized software.
The captured data is then assembled and a quality 8.5 x 11” printout is given to the parent. The printout can be used to give law enforcement anywhere in the world information to INSTANTLY aid in an investigation.

It should be noted that no database or records of children are maintained. The only record of the visit will go home with the parents for safekeeping.
Keep it in a safe place, or in a bank safety box, in the event, God-forbid, that you need it.
