Alexandria Police Debut SafeAssured ID at Family Fun Day

On Saturday, September 20, from 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., the Alexandria Police Department will partner with the Center for Alexandria’s Children and the City of Alexandria to host Family Fun Day.  The free event will take place at John Adams Elementary School, 5651 Rayburn Avenue. 

During the event, the Alexandria Police Department will be providing digital information kits for children to parents through SafeAssured ID.  This is the first time SafeAssured ID will be used by the Alexandria Police Department.  The Police Department was able to acquire the equipment needed to implement the program with funds provided by the Alexandria Police Foundation.
