Constable Gary L. Freeman is proud to be the first Constable in Harris County to start a kid identification program that uses digital technology. This program is designed to photograph and fingerprint children so parents will have this information on a single document. This document contains important information on what to do should a child become a victim of an abduction or becomes missing.

Since its conception, Constable Freeman’s office has done several thousand fingerprints and photographs of children. This program is offered to all schools, churches, community functions and child care providers in Precinct 2 at no cost to them.

He has assigned Detectives from his Domestic Violence and Victims Assistance Division to fingerprint and photograph the children. These detectives have been trained in the areas of domestic violence and child abuse. We are able to provide additional information needed to help in keeping children safe in our community.
