Child Identification Tool

Just in time for summer, events are scheduled for the Connecticut Child Identification program, supported by the Connecticut Freemasons Foundation. The program has provided identification packets to parents of more than 40,000 children to assist law enforcement agencies in recovering missing children. An identification tool packet, provided at no cost to families, includes a DVD Ram disk with a brief digitally recorded interview of the child and a still photo, the child’s fingerprints of both hands, a dental bite impression, and cheek swab DNA/scent sample.

The CTCHIP program’s website (provided below) includes a link to the calendar of events scheduled to provide the small “Purple Packs,” as well as a link to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s current list of missing Connecticut children.
