State of Oregon: Oregon State Police Missing Children Clearinghouse

The Clearinghouse is pleased to provide child identification kits free of charge to the public. The blank kit includes an area for a picture, fingerprints, dental records, physical information, and a DNA sample. Parents fill out the kit and keep it in their home. During the first hours a child is missing, it is vital to have this information available so law enforcement is able to locate the child as soon as possible. Funding for the kits is provided each year from the proceeds of a golf tournament (Annual Oregon State Police Missing Children Benefit). Since 1999, the clearinghouse has been able to purchase over 70,000 ID kits that have been distributed throughout Oregon. If you would like to have a kit sent to you, please call 503-934-0188 or toll free outside Salem at 1-800-282-7155. You may also email your request to judy.hayes@state.or.us The kits are free of charge! The kits may also be ordered in limited quantities for community and service groups, clubs, schools, etc.
