Operation KidPrint

Hopefully, you will never be in a situation where you'll need your child's fingerprints but it's always good to be prepared. On that note, I wanted to share this upcoming event with you...

Obtaining a copy of your child's fingerprints is a tool to protect your child if the unthinkable happens. Operation KidPrint provides a confidential way of documenting vital identification information for your records. Join Assemblymember Marty Block and the CHP at Bonitafest to help protect your children.
