The Cortland County Sheriff's Office will be at the 2019
Cortland Jr. Youth Fair on
July 9-13th
A wonderful program is returning to this year's Fair!
The Cortland Co. Sheriff Office will be on location offering the Operation Safe Child program. The program which is free to the public, is used to input data information for a child on a SAFE CHILD ID card. With parental consent, the information is stored in a statewide database, which can be utilized in a child disappearance case.
- The Main purpose of the program is to capture identifying information about your child on a SAFECHILD ID CARD, in addition to quickly providing important details to police agencies investigating child disappearances, The SAFE CHILD card can be used in conjunction with the NYS AMBER Alert and Missing Child Alert programs. If the child goes missing, the program allows their information to be electronically disseminated within minutes, significantly increasing the possibility of bringing a missing child home.
- Information is stored in a database at the NYS DCJS. When DCJS recieves a missing child report, the fingerprints of that child are compared against all incoming fingerprints submitted to DCJS. A parent or lawful guardian can request the information be purged from the database at any time, when the child or if the child turns 18, the fingerprints are automatically purged from the database.
