At events all around the county, Sheriff’s deputies and civilian staff fingerprint, photograph and measure a child; add any demographic information a parent provides; and then produce a plastic ID card for the parent’s safekeeping. To protect the family's privacy, none of the information is retained by the Sheriff’s Office. For families in our community, this card could be the key to assisting law enforcement agencies should their child ever go missing. For the children, the process of producing the card offers a fun and positive experience, interacting with law enforcement officers.

In fiscal year 2024, by invitation from community groups and businesses, our Child ID team created 2,350 ID cards at 82 events throughout Fairfax County. For more information or to request the services at your community event, please send us an email.
