Fairfax fingerprints kids for free

Published September 24, 2011 4:00am ET



Fairfax County police are offering to fingerprint kids for free.

The authorities are offering to provide parents with a photo and a fingerprint set of their child — documents that could help identify them should they go missing.

The service will be available today until 4 p.m. at the Dulles Day Festival at Washington Dulles International Airport

in Chantilly, Va.

Four more fingerprinting opportunities will be offered in October.
