May 2008 MyCHip Event!MYCHIP-Massachusetts Youth CHild Identification Program-is coming to Bedford on Saturday, May 31, 2008. This program is free to the public and will be held from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM at the Bedford Fire Department, 55 The Great Road, Bedford MA. The MYCHIP program provides tools to help law enforcement authorities find and identify a lost or missing child.
Massachusetts Freemasons invite children age 18 and younger to participate in the most comprehensive child identification program of its kind. Each child will have a brief videotape interview, will be fingerprinted by police personnel, and will have a cheek-swab and Toothprint® bite impression made by professional dental personnel. All materials are given to the parents for safekeeping. No copies are kept on file and the program is free to all.
This program is presented by members of the Frank W. Thompson Masonic Lodge with the assistance of the Bedford Family Connection and the Bedford Woman's Club, in cooperation with the Massachusetts Dental Society and Bedford Police Department. Since 1988, over 250,000 children have participated in MYCHIP throughout Massachusetts.
