POUGHKEEPSIE- The Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the Sheriff’s Office Police Benevolent Association (PBA) and Explorer Program, will conduct Operation Safe Child at the upcoming Dutchess County Fair.
The program will be offered to parents and children from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. each day the fair is open. The Dutchess County Fair will run from August 22nd through August 27th.
Operation Safe Child is a free service that provides parents and children with important child safety information. Information about the child including name, biographical information, fingerprints, and a photograph is put onto a Safe Child identification card. The card can be made in a matter of minutes, can be easily carried in a wallet or purse, and will contain critical information to help expedite the return of the child should they ever go missing.
No advance sign-up is required to participate, walk-ins are welcome at the sheriff’s tent at the fair.
