Safeguarding our Keiki

Over 800,000 children in the United States are reported missing each year. If a child is missing, time is crucial, the availibility of up-to-date information becomes a valuable tool. The police and FBI recommend that parents and guardians keep a current record of ID information, fingerprints, and a DNA sample of their children. This information may be vital if a child is lost or abducted. The Honolulu Police Department will be hosting our Keiki I.D. program this year at Family Night.

Created in 1996, the "Keiki ID" program is a community service provided by Chevron Hawaii in partnership with the Honolulu Police Department.

Parents or guardians provide addresses, phone number, and physician information to be included on the card. HPD officers assist with adding a photo, and helping with thumbprints. The "Keiki ID" is laminated and cannot be readily updated. It is not an official government record and should remain with parents and guardians.
