Fairfax County, VA – Families in Fairfax County can take advantage of a free child safety event this Saturday as the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office hosts a Free Child ID Event during winter break.
According to the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO), the event will take place Saturday, December 27, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the John Marshall Community Library, located in the Falls Church area of Fairfax County.
During the event, deputies will provide free Child ID cards, which include identifying information parents can keep on hand in case of an emergency. Officials say the cards are designed to help families stay prepared and offer parents added peace of mind.
The event is family-friendly and timed to coincide with winter break, allowing parents to stop in while children are out of school. Attendees are also encouraged to explore the library, grab books for winter reading, and visit with sheriff’s office representatives throughout the afternoon.
Child ID programs are commonly used nationwide as a preventative safety measure. While the cards are not stored in law enforcement databases, they provide parents with important identifying details that could be critical if a child were ever to go missing.
The sheriff’s office emphasized that the event is completely free and open to the public. No registration is required.
More information about the event is available through the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office website.
