MI Child ID Program

We are proud to announce the return of the Michigan Child ID Program.  Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 PM.  Sponsored by Wayne Masonic Lodge #112, the program is one of the most complete child recovery and identification programs in the country.  Provided at no charge to parents, children spend about 15 minutes passing through various stations where identifying information is gathered, including: dental impressions, DNA, color photos, finger prints and a recorded interview.  The information is then provided in a packet to the parents for safe keeping.  This packet can be provided by the parents to authorities to aid recovery efforts in the event a child is missing.  For additional information please visit the MICHIP website.
