Xtreme Wheels Teams w/ Buffalo PD for Kids' ID Card ProgramXtreme Wheels Teams with Buffalo Police for Kids' ID Card Program
(Buffalo, NY, December 27, 2005) - - A local business is teaming up with police to help keep kids safe.
The Xtreme Wheels indoor skate park was the backdrop Monday for Operation Child Safe.
The Buffalo Police program offers parents free photo ID cards of their children.
Deborah Gasper, the mother of a 7-year-old, said, "They're taking his fingerprints and his photo so that we'll have a little card, so if something, God forbid, were to happen, we'd be able to find my son."
Buffalo Police Officer Kimberly Beaty said, "If they do send the information to New York State, New York State has the information on file, and they can put out the Amber Alert quicker, and find the children hopefully faster."
The photo IDs are offered throughout the year at the Buffalo Police Academy.
