There are 80 million kids in America under the age of 20, with 80 million smiles and dreams aplenty. They are our country's most precious resource, and they need to be kept safe and secure. The U.S. Department of Justice reports an average 2,000 children are reported missing each day to law enforcement in the United States; thankfully the vast majority of these children are recovered quickly.
SafeMilwaukeeID uses the most comprehensive, technologically advanced youth identification solution in the industry. In the event that your child goes missing, SafeMilwaukeeID provides families with the power to deliver media and law enforcement with immediate, holistic, and ready-to-broadcast information unique to the missing youth.
Our goal is to give every child in Milwaukee a SafeMilwaukeeID.
Our hope is that no one ever has to use it.
