The Sevierville Police Department (SPD) will offer several free child safety services at Food City, 2946 Winfield Dunn Parkway (Hwy. 66), from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 19.      
     The following services will be available:
     Child Fingerprinting: SPD Officers will be on hand to fingerprint children of all ages and provide parents with a comprehensive Child Identification kit that can include the child’s fingerprints, DNA, photograph, dental records and other personal information.
     Law enforcement officials highly recommend that parents keep this type of information on hand, so that they can be used in the event their child is lost or abducted. For divorced parents, we recommend that each parent keep this information at their residence.
     Gun Safety Information: The purpose of Project ChildSafe is to promote safe firearms handling and storage practices.
     Stranger Danger Program: Over 750,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States. The Stranger Danger program seeks to educate children and parents about strangers, how they may attempt to abduct a child and what to do if an attempted abduction or abuse occurs.
      For additional information on any of these services call SPD Sgt. Rebecca Cowan at (865) 868-1866.
