RPD Citizen Volunteers to offer free monthly fingerprinting
The Redlands Police Department Citizen Volunteers will be at Market Night again Thursday, Aug. 21, to provide free child fingerprinting.
One evening a month, volunteers staff a booth at the Thursday night market on State Street fingerprinting children to give families a record that can be used in case of emergencies. The service is free and available to anyone with children.
Once the child is fingerprinted, the card will be given to the child’s parents or guardian. Redlands Police will not keep any records on file. Parents are encouraged to attach a current photo of their child and a lock of hair and to keep the card handy in the event of an emergency.
Child fingerprints aid police in reuniting children with their families in the event they become separated by a natural disaster, accident or crime.
