For the second year in a row, the police department will fingerprint and photograph children to provide parents with a means of helping police identify them in the event they become lost or missing.
About 300 children were fingerprinted last year, said Sgt. Thomas Woodruff of the Grayslake Police Department.
“When a child’s lost, missing or injured, it gives us a way to identify them and return them to their families,” Woodruff said. “In most cases when you find a child, there’s no other way to identify them except maybe birthmarks.”
The free service is being offered to parents of children ages 3 and older at the State Bank of the Lakes, 50 Commerce Drive from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
