Cricket Partners with Clovis Police Department to ID Children

CLOVIS, CALIF. – September 8, 2007 – Cricket Communications, Inc, a leading provider of unlimited wireless services, partnered with the Clovis Police Department to provide families with free ChoicePrint™ child identification kits today at the Sierra Vista Mall in Clovis. The ID kits contain all the crucial information that helps police to find a lost or missing child, including a photograph, dental records, medical information, personal information, DNA hair sample, fingerprints, and physical information.

“Cricket cares about families in our community, and we want to do everything we can to help keep children safe,” said Matt Pulley, Cricket area general manager for the Central Valley. “No family ever wants to experience a lost or missing child, but we hope that the child ID kits that we gave out today can help parents to be prepared in case they ever need it. Having all the important information in one easy place can help police to find the missing child quickly and safely.”

“We are glad to see a company like Cricket take an active interest in the safety of this community,” said NAME, TILE for the Clovis 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.”
