Amber Alert ticker
Project KidCare, developed by Polaroid Corporation in conjunction with The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), is a program designed to raise awareness of child safety and provide parents with an effective tool to aid law enforcement authorities in the search for a missing child. One of seven missing children are found because of a photograph distributed by NCMEC, making a standardized, current photograph the single most important tool in finding missing children. "Everyone has pictures of their children, but most parents don't have a suitable photograph if their child becomes lost or missing", explained Ernest Allen, president of NCMEC. "It is very important to have a recent, unobstructed head-and-shoulder photograph of the child. The picture should be stored in a safe place with the vital statistics of the child at the time the photograph is taken."
The Branford Police Department is able to provide this crime prevention service to one of our most important residents, the children, with grant funds provided by the State of Connecticut, Office of Policy and Management, Local Law Enforcement Block Grant.
