Bank of America to Fund Safe Kids Card Child Identification Program Offered by the Delaware State Police
Delaware to be the first in the nation to use the digital CD IDs.
Wilmington, DE, November 28, 2006 --(PR.com)-- With support from Bank of America, Delaware State Police becomes the first in the nation to offer a Safe Kids Card, a wallet size CD identification card that holds emergency and medical information along with photos and fingerprints. The CD format allows police and emergency officials to access the information much quicker, therefore speeding up recovery and treatment.
“We’re pleased to partner with the police to provide this valuable protection for the children in our community,” said Ric Struthers, Bank of America Delaware market president.
“Providing this opportunity for parents to have their child’s information placed on a CD is a more efficient way to protect and assist them in an emergency,” said Delaware State Police Cpl. Michelle Foraker.
The wallet size CDs were custom-made by Wyoming-based My Family CD International for the Delaware program, based on research of past programs and the needs of the community.
“This system gives families an additional piece of mind when protecting their children. It’s so simple that parents can easily complete the child’s information any time at home,” said Earle Markey who heads the Team Bank of America volunteer organization in Newark.
Jennifer Hawkins, My Family CD Law enforcement program coordinator, said, “This program provides a vital tool for effective communication between the parents and law enforcement officials. In a crisis, you don’t always think clearly, and this CD allows police to disseminate accurate information and get to the business of recovery.”
Safe Kids Cards digital child ID kits will be available for the Delaware program while supplies last at various events throughout the area. You may also call the Delaware State Police at 302-834-2620, extensions 232 or 233.
