Operation Kidsafe arrived in Sault Ste. Marie today with the announcement that a local auto dealership will host its free digital fingerprinting program.

Great Lakes Honda will host an Operation Kidsafe Child Safety Station at its Pim Street location for the next year.

Police Chief Robert Keetch and Mayor Debbie Amaroso were on hand for the announcement along with Operation Kidsafe founder Mark Bott.

From Operation Kidsafe:

*************************

This system produces a lifetime safety record of a child and only the parent gets a record of the visit.

Safety tips and education are also provided so parents can help arm their children with knowledge and start a family safety action plan.

If there is ever an emergency, Operation Kidsafe will have parents better prepared to hand law enforcement vital information to act fast.

Great Lakes Honda plans to offer this service to all local families for at least one year.

The service will always be free to area families and will provide area children with an extra measure of safety.
