Operation Kidprint
Each day more than 2,300 children are reported missing to local police departments throughout our country. We all agree that children are our future and we must do everything possible to protect their safety. With that goal in mind, the City of Dublin Division of Police has developed the Operation Kidprint.
Child Identification Kit
The booklet contains information that could be valuable if a child is lost or abducted. Approximately passport-sized, the booklet contains space to attach a photograph of your child, insert fingerprints and provide pertinent information about your child. Parents are advised to update the child's photograph each year and to keep the other information current. To obtain information about Operation Kidprint or to make an appointment to receive an Operation Kidprint booklet and have your child's photograph and fingerprints taken, call 614-410-4800.
