Operation Family Identification
(OFID) is a community service
program administered by
Spokane C.O.P.S. in
collaboration with the Spokane Police Department and
S.C.O.P.E. (Sheriff's
Community Oriented Policing Effort).
Identification kits include
a digital photograph saved on a floppy disk and fingerprints. The kits
are
given to participating families. In the event a loved one comes up
missing,
a family member can forward the critical information quickly to local
law enforcement agencies for the production of flyers and even nationwide distribution.
We recommend digital photos be updated annually. A
$1.00 donation is requested to cover costs; however, no child will be turned
away because of inability to donate.
Children must be accompanied by a
parent as the finished kit will not be given back to the children. There
is no age limit.
In addition to parents
bringing their children to the substations, volunteers attended various safety
fairs, daycares, bike rodeos and business open houses.
