Sheriff Promotes Children's ID Cards

Sheriff Wendell Hall is promoting his second joint partnership (first held on March 22, 2008) with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to provide identification cards for Santa Rosa children between the ages of 5 and 17 years old. If anyone is interested the event will be held at the FunFest on Navarre Beach on May 17, 2008 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The cost to the public is $3.00 each. A third event is scheduled for October 25, 2008 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Families Day Out festivity at the Milton Community Center at 5629 Byrom Street. Each child must have an original birth certificate and a social security card or a passport. Once an ID is issued, the parents can then go to our website at www.flhsmv.gov and enter emergency contact information. This new system is designed to give law enforcement officials immediate access to contact information in the event of an emergency. There will be computer terminals available for parents to enter this information on site.
