Elite Interactive Solutions announced its involvement with several organizations to promote distribution of child identification kits. Through its long association with FBI-LEEDA, Elite is represented along with the National Child ID Program in partnership with the NFL Alumni Association and Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the Safety Blitz Foundation.

The initiative includes providing at least one million inkless child identification kits, which allow parents to take, store and control their children’s fingerprints/DNA in their own home.

“As a company laser focused on crime prevention, participating in a program predicated on protecting America’s children from harm could not be more in line with what Elite and its remote video guarding solution is all about,” said Aria Kozak, founder and CEO, Elite Interactive Solutions. “We are grateful to FBI-LEEDA for endorsing Elite when asked for a private safety supporter and honored to be among the other prominent and respected organizations represented for this vitally important program.”

According to the National Child ID Program’s (NCIDP) website, up to 1,000 children go missing in the United States every day, yet when its program began less than 2 parents of parents had a copy of their child’s fingerprints to use in case of an emergency. The group’s safety initiative is dedicated to changing these statistics by providing parents and guardians with a tool they can use to help protect their children. 

The ID kits allow parents to collect specific information by easily recording the physical characteristics, fingerprints and DNA of their children on identification cards that are then kept at home by the parent or guardian, the announcement states. If ever needed, this ID kit gives authorities vital information to assist their efforts to locate a missing child.

Since its inception in 1997, the NCIDP said it has distributed more than 70 million kits throughout North America. The program has reportedly been recognized by Congress and today works with federal, state and local leaders, coaches, athletes, faith-based organizations, and corporate citizens to increase the safety of children in communities across the country.
