Michigan Freemasons Cedar 60 offer Michigan Child ID services in the Masonic Temple, Main and Washington streets, during Taste of Clarkston.
The program provides parents and guardians with a “Child ID Kit,” containing vital information law enforcement can use to locate a missing child. The program also helps educate families about abduction prevention and safety.
The kit includes a photo ID card, color photo, digital fingerprints, recorded interview to capture speech characteristics, dental impressions, DNA, and a complete Amber Alert profile.
MICHIP is part of the National Masonichip network, sponsored by the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America.
Kits are placed in a pack and given to parents or guardians to take home for safe keeping. Should their child become missing, the pack can then be provided to law enforcement to aid in recovery and identification. The Michigan Freemasons keep nothing but the permission form signed by the parent prior to participation in the event.
