“Fingerprinting is the best way for parents to obtain identification information for their children which can be used to turn over to authorities anywhere in the world to aid in the event of a missing child investigation. When there’s an emergency, having that information at your fingertips is essential,” noted Tom Hafers, owner of USMMA.



He continued, “This event is designed to empower families with specific information regarding child safety and protection. We’re committed to helping families and very fortunate to have the Milford , Franklin , Sudbury and Bellingham Police Departments involved in this very special event.”
