New York State Assemblyman Michael Durso (R - Massapequa Park), in coordination with Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Nassau County Legislator James Kennedy, and the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office recently held a free Child ID Card Program at Marjorie Post Community Park Pool in Massapequa.

The Nassau County DA’s child ID program, Operation Safe Child, provides parents with an identification card for their children containing pertinent physical information to give law enforcement officials a head start on a missing child.The child ID card includes the child’s name, birthdate, age, gender, hair and eye color, height and weight, fingerprints, and a high-resolution digital photo.

“As a dad of two young daughters, having an ID with their photo and description all on one card gives us peace of mind that in an emergency we can provide this information immediately to police officers,” said Assemblyman Durso. “I want to thank Supervisor Saladino, Legislator Kennedy and the Nassau County DA’s office for all they do to keep our kids and communities safe.A special thank you to the Marjorie Post Pool staff and all the families that came out to take advantage of this free program.”
