The Alexandria Sheriff’s Office is making free identification cards for kids at community events.
ASO launched the program last month with a donation from Dominion Energy. Look for ASO staff at public events, like the city’s monthly community cookouts, to get a free photo identification card for kids with a photograph and fingerprint. Parents will get the only copies of the identifications, and ASO will not store the data.
“Keeping our children safe is a top priority, and the Sheriff’s Office is now offering a new service to help parents and children,” ASO said on the city website. “The service is designed to give parents an extra measure of security and peace of mind.”
ASO continued, “The clear, color photograph and identifying details can help law enforcement and other first responders in their efforts to locate and reunite the child with their family. Sheriff Sean Casey encourages parents and guardians in Alexandria to take advantage of this free service.”
