So many children are reported missing each day in the U.S. Most are found within minutes or hours and have happy endings. Police officials say that time is critical in the recovery of missing children. One major problem that costs precious time is the gathering of current photographs, fingerprints, and statistical information to assist law enforcement agencies.

S.I.P. Kids will take a child’s picture and fingerprints, using a digital inkless fingerprint capture device, and include them as part of the child’s file, which is then provided to the parent. The parents can use the copy they receive to turn directly over to authorities anywhere in the world to instantly aid in an investigation. 

No records of the visit are maintained. The only record of the visit will go home directly with parents for safekeeping. S.I.P Kids will not take any personal information from the children. Fingerprints are taken and parents fill in the personal profile for their records once they are in the privacy of their own home.
