Ford dealer will offer child fingerprinting

Parents can take a step to help safeguard their children against crime

this weekend at a free child safety program at Theodore Robbins Ford.

Ford Motor Co. and the National Center for Children will offer the

Blue Oval Certified Commitment to Kids Program at the Costa Mesa Ford

dealership. Families are invited to come down to receive free

identification and safety booklets and fingerprint their children.

An instant photo will be taken of participating children, and officers

will be on hand to take fingerprints. Both the picture and fingerprints

are placed in the booklet for parents to keep in the event that their

child is ever missing.

The Commitment to Kids Program will take place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Saturday at Theodore Robbins Ford, 2060 Harbor Blvd. Information: (949)
