The Warren County’s Sheriff’s Office will be conducting an “Operation Safe Child” fingerprinting event on Sunday, April 15 beginning at 10a.

Statistics show that nearly 34 percent of parents in the United States do not know their child’s exact height, weight and eye color.

At this event parents and guardians can opt to have their child’s photograph and information gathered into a digital database stored at the Division of Criminal Justice Services.

SAFE CHILD cards contain a child’s name, biographical information, such as their date of birth, gender, height, weight, and hair and eye color, and a fingerprint image of both index fingers.

This card could prove instrumental to authorities when a child is reported missing.

The card takes less than two minutes to make and can be easily stored in a wallet or pocketbook.

The event will take place at the Warren County Sheriff’s Office Training Center at 1400 State Route 9 until 5p.
