Support Services

Kid Care I.D. Program. The Kid Care ID program was restarted in 2001 after a several year absence. The program is run by Sgt. Mark H. Ashley. The program was restarted after a donation from Remington Furniture Company was given to the police association to purchase the I.D. Kit

When your child has his or her picture taken they will also have their fingerprints taken. These will be kept in a booklet that has several pages for emergency information and additional pages for updating your child's information on their birthdays. This program was restarted so that in case your child becomes lost or is abducted, the vital information the police will need will be kept altogether in a safe place.

Bike Helmet Program. The Bicycle Helmet Programs was started in June 2003. The program is run by Sgt. Mark Ashley with the assistance of the St. Lawrence County Traffic Safety Program. The program is for low income families who are unable to purchase a bike helmet for their child.
