Endorsed by John Walsh, America’s trusted name in fighting crime, biometric fingerprinting and a DNA identification kit for children will be offered free of charge tomorrow at the Brian Harris Autoplex on 293 Howze Beach Road in Slidell from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Biometrics, the most advanced technology available today, will be used to obtain your child’s fingerprints.

After each child goes through the line, parents will be handed a Child Safety Journal (which contains the biometric fingerprints and digital photo) and a DNA kit.

The DNA kit contains detailed instructions on how to use the DNA kit at home.

You will also be given John Walsh’s Child Safety Tips. All the information provided at this Child Safety Program is recommended by child safety experts and law enforcement officials to be updated every 6 months.

If a child becomes missing, parents greatly increase their chance of quickly recovering their child if they immediately provide a FBI-certified biometric 10-digit fingerprint profile, a DNA sample, a high-resolution full color photograph, and current statistical information.
