“We are glad to see a company like Cricket take an active interest in the safety of this community,” said Detective Mary Blowers for the Las Cruces Police Department. “Having this type of identifying information from the beginning of a search can make a huge difference in how quickly we are able to locate missing children. We hope that families will take advantage of these ID kits from Cricket.”
“Getting involved in the communities which we serve is extremely important to Cricket, which is why we are joining forces with the Las Cruces Police Department today,” said Regan Anderson, Cricket district director for El Paso and Las Cruces. “No family ever wants to experience a lost or missing child, but we hope the child ID kits we are giving out today can help parents to be prepared in case they ever need it.”
