Sheriff’s Office

You can invite the Sheriff's Office to an upcoming event in your community, whether an annual picnic or any activity bringing neighbors together.  At events all around the county, Sheriff's Deputies photograph and measure a child; add any demographic information a parent provides; and then produce a plastic ID card for the parent's safekeeping.  To protect the family's privacy, none of the information is retained by the Sheriff's Office. For families in our community, this card could be the key to assisting law enforcement agencies should their child ever become missing.  For the children, the process of producing the card offers a fun and positive experience of interacting with law enforcement officers.
