Trooper Lucy Papp speaks to the kids about safety.

Recently, Southwest Florida area Subway restaurants and the Florida Highway Patrol partnered to promote the use of child identification kits, kicking off the promotion with a big event in Ft. Myers. FHP helped promote the use of child I.D. kits through radio, television, and newspapers to spread the message on the importance of parents having identification information for their children in case of an emergency. National statistics show that every forty seconds a child is lost or missing. It is important that law enforcement have access to the child's information, including a current photo, description, and finger prints. Child I.D. kits were provided by Subway to participants at the Boys and Girls Club of Fort Myers at no cost to the families, and additional kits were made available to parents and kids in Lee, Charlotte, Hendry, Collier, and Glades Counties at participating Subways. Thank you Subway and FHP for making Florida's kids safer.
