A free child ID event will take place from noon to 3 p.m. Sat., Aug. 25 during the Kids Fun Zone at Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks, at Moorpark Road and Hillcrest Drive.

The event is sponsored by Sen. Tony Strickland’s office and the Thousand Oaks Police Department.

The free child ID and fingerprint kits take a few minutes to make and include copies of the child’s fingerprints and their parents’ contact information.

Parents keep the kits on hand and can turn them over to law enforcement in the case of a missing child or other emergency.

For more information, call Strickland’s district office at (805) 306-8886.
