The hours of the event are 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. The event will be conducted by the Sheriff\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>Office along with the City of Oneida Police Department, and is made possible by the generosity and support\u00a0of the Oneida WalMart.<\/p>\n<p>Also available at the event will be various informational items geared toward child safety and safety <!--more-->concerns\u00a0in general, available at no charge.<\/p>\n<p>The Operation SAFE CHILD Card program is a free public\u00a0service offered by the Madison County Sheriff\u2019s Office, and\u00a0administered by the New York State Sheriffs\u2019 Association, Inc.\u00a0with the technological support of the New York State Division\u00a0of Criminal Justice Services.<\/p>\n<p>Madison County Sheriff Allen Riley explains that using\u00a0equipment that contains the latest digital fingerprinting\u00a0technology and high-resolution photography capabilities, many County Sheriffs across New York are able to produce\u00a0a SAFE\u00a0CHILD card for parents and guardians.<\/p>\n<p>The card contains the child\u2019s name, biographical information (including date of birth, gender, height, weight,<\/p>\n<p>hair color, eye color, and other identifying data), and a fingerprint image of both index fingers. The card can be made in just a few minutes and can be easily carried in a wallet or pocketbook. The goal of the program is\u00a0to record and securely store the fingerprints, basic biographical information and photographs of children who\u00a0are not missing \u2013 information critical to expediting the return of a missing child. The storage of information is\u00a0secure, entirely voluntary, and requires the written consent of a parent or legal guardian.<\/p>\n<p>The information gathered is digitally recorded and stored at a separate database at the state\u00a0Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). In the event DCJS receives a missing child report, the\u00a0fingerprints of that child will be included in a special search file and compared against all incoming\u00a0fingerprints submitted to DCJS. Once included in the database, parents or lawful guardians can request that information be purged at any time and, after a child turns 18, the fingerprints will be purged from the\u00a0database.<\/p>\n<p>Riley noted that in addition to being able to quickly provide important details to police agencies investigating child disappearances, the SAFE CHILD card will serve as an important tool when used in\u00a0conjunction with the NYS AMBER Alert and Missing Child Alert programs. These identification cards will\u00a0allow essential missing child information to be electronically disseminated, statewide if necessary; within\u00a0minutes and dramatically increase the possibility of bringing a missing child home. The Sheriff also reminds\u00a0parents and loved ones who already have had their child put into the SAFE CHILD system that the\u00a0information and photo should be updated each year, as the child\u2019s appearance changes as they grow older.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on any of the public services made available by the Sheriff\u2019s Office, please contact Ray\u00a0Thielke, Madison County Sheriff\u2019s Office Community Services Aide at 315-366- 2482.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Office of the Madison County Sheriff will be issuing Operation SAFE CHILD ID cards at\u00a0the Oneida Public Library, 220 Broad Street on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., and\u00a0again at the WalMart Supercenter, located at 2024 Genesee Street in Oneida Saturday, Dec. 3, 2016.
