The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff is interested in buying two (2) Electronic Child Identification systems, in its further endeavor to protect and assist the citizens of Bay Point. These Electronic Child ID systems would protect children who become missing or abducted in Bay Point, providing the necessary and pertinent information for Law Enforcement to immediately access the information on a thumb drive or via email. They also will provide a PVC-type child’s identification card and/or print-out on paper the parent can keep in their wallet at all times. Currently, we provide hand-stamped Child Identification booklets, which are without a photograph of the child or digital copy of the fingerprints and other information, so it cannot be accessed quickly and conveniently by the parent of the missing/abducted child, thereby resulting in much more time to retrieve the information from many sources. This delay results in increased crucial time which could be used in the effort to find the missing/abducted child.

A negative action on this request would mean a delay resulting in increased crucial time which could be used in the effort to find the missing/abducted child.

The Office of the Sheriff would not be able to provide this service to the residents of Bay Point who have children.
