The Minonk Police Department will be providing our youths, ages 5 to 15, with the opportunity to be photographed and fingerprinted in an effort to provide current pictures and information for Police Agencies if ever required.  In response to growing concern about missing children, parents and law enforcements agencies have begun fingerprinting programs for children.  While fingerprinting will not  prevent the tragedy of child abduction or disappearance, it may help law enforcement authorities identify children unable to identify themselves.  Moreover, fingerprinting provides  a valuable opportunity for parents to talk with their children about personal safety.  The fingerprints and photos of your children will be kept on file with the Minonk Police Dept.

 We will also be registering youth's bicycles at this time.  All youths must be accompanied by an adult so they can take part in this event.  We hope to see you there.

Fingerprinting will take place on Saturday, August 26th, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Millenia Park north of the city.  This event is free of charge but we are asking that you bring a non-perishable food item, paper goods, or hygiene item to donate to our local food pantry.  Thanks.
