A child identification program will be held at the James J. Eagan Civic Center on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The program consists of digital photographs and fingerprints, child information and emergency contacts, dental bite impression, and two laminated identification cards.

The digital photographs, digital fingerprints and child information and emergency contacts are given to the parent or guardian of the child on a mini-CD. The information on the disk is compatible with the format required by the Amber Alert program.

The dental bite impression provides an impression of the biting surface of the child’s teeth, which like fingerprints, are unique to each individual. The dental impression collects enough saliva to provide a DNA sample and a source for a scent for trained canine search and recovery teams.

The program is sponsored by the Missouri Masonic Children’s Foundation/Beacon Lodge #3727 and Parents as Teachers, Ferguson-Florissant School District.
