The York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office is proud to offer the EZ Child ID Digital Fingerprinting System, a comprehensive service that captures your child's fingerprints, photo, medical information, and a short video. Parents will receive a printout of the fingerprints along with a flash drive containing all recorded information. Rest assured, this sensitive data is never stored and is immediately deleted from the computer once the flash drive is provided. Crime Prevention Specialist Kevin Taylor and Deputy First Class Trey Ulintz from the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office will be on site assisting families during the event, and McGruff the Crime Dog will also be there to meet children and help promote safety awareness. Each child’s session lasts approximately 10 minutes. To reserve a spot, please sign up each child individually. Upon arrival, parents should sign in, and children will be taken in the order they arrive. For questions about the Child ID program or event details, please contact Crime Prevention Specialist Kevin Taylor at 757-890-3639 or Deputy First Class Trey Ulintz at 757-890-3677.
