As of 2008, the Mobridge Police Department is
proud to announce our cooperative partnership and support of
the SD CHIP program. The South Dakota Child Identification
Program is free to parents and is presented by the Grand Lodge
of South Dakota, Ancient Free & Accepted Masons. This
comprehensive child ID program is recognized by the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) as one of
the most complete child recovery and identification programs
in the nation.
The SD CHIP kits include: Toothprints®
Dental Impressions, DNA Cheek Swab, Digital Still Photo,
Digital Fingerprints, and Short Video Imaged Interview. All
information in the kit is kept by the parent to be used in the
event of a missing child. The kit information can be used by
media and law enforcement to assist in locating and
identifying a child.
The 2008 SD CHIP program was held on Saturday, March 1 from
10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. with 59 children participating in the
program this first year. We are hoping to see that number
drastically increase in 2009 as word of this excellent program
reaches more and more people in the area.
If you missed the SD CHIP program, the Mobridge Police
Department still has a limited number of free OPERATION Mugs N
Hugs child identification kits which are available at the
Mobridge Law Enforcement Center while supplies last. More
information about these older kits is available at the bottom
of this page.
