Recently the Tazewell Police Department applied for and was awarded a one-time special fund through the Department of Criminal Justice.  The Department requested this fund to purchase a KidPrint ID computer system.  

The KidPrint ID program provides parents with a card made of durable plastic that the parent can carry at all times. The cards help keep children safe by allowing local police departments to have a child's thumbprint, vital information, and current picture on file and by educating parents on child safety.   The ID cards allow for rapid response in the event of a lost or kidnapped child.   It is our department's goal to use the KidPrint IDs not only with children but with the elderly living within the community.

Before receiving this one-time special fund, the Tazewell Police Department did not have such a program in effect. By implementing this program, our department will be able to take a more proactive step in crime prevention.

If you want the KID ID program for an event call the Police Department at 988-2503.
