Sheriff’s Office to offer Operation Safe Child at the Fair

heriff Kirk Imperati is pleased to announce that the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the Sheriff’s Office Police Benevolent Association (PBA) and Explorer Program, will conduct Operation Safe Child at the upcoming Dutchess County Fair. The program will be offered to parents and children from 11am – 1pm and 5pm – 7pm each day that the Fair is open (8/22 – 8/27) and will be located at the Sheriff’s Office tent inside the fairgrounds.

Operation Safe Child is a free service that provides parents and children with important child safety information. Information about the child – such as name, biographical information, fingerprints, and a photograph – is put onto a Safe Child ID card. The card can be made in a matter of minutes, can be easily carried in a wallet or purse, and will contain critical information to help expedite the return of the child should they ever go missing.

No advance sign-up is required to participate in the program, and parents are encouraged to visit the Sheriff’s Office tent at the Fair to learn more about this and other services provided by Sheriff Imperati and his team.
