Arizona needs to bring the ''AMBER ALERT'' system here. I have not heard if it's in the works or not. I have seen the recent cases and the use of that system. Wonder if those children would have been brought home so quickly and safely w/o the ''AMBER ALERT'' system.

MCSD Child Identification - Fingerprinting Program
When: 8-30-2002, Time Undetermined
Where: Maricopa County
Contact: Maricopa County Sheriff's Office @ (602) 256-1895

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has a Child Identification - Fingerprinting Program, which allows individuals to call the Sheriff's Office and request a fingerprint packet. The packet contains everything needed to fingerprint a child. After the child's prints are transferred to a card it is stored in a cool dry place.

Persons wishing to have large groups of children fingerprinted can contact the Sheriff's Office and request that one of our Posse groups come out and conduct the detail for you. This is something normally completed on the weekends. For more information, and to inquire about having fingerprinting for children at an event,
please contact them at (602) 256-1895.
