Masonic CHIP PRogram

The Child Identification Program (CHIP) address the alarming fact that over 1,000,000 children are reported missing in the United States each year. While most are found, many are not. Also the abduction of children is both under-reported and rapidly increasing in out society.

The Masonic CHIP Program is provided free of charge to the public and all of the identifying itms generated during CHIP are given to the child's family. The CHIP program includes the following:

Videotape: A brief videotape interview is worth a thousand still photos. The CHIP interview caaptures the appearance, speech, mannerisms, and other important personal characteristics of a child. It can be quickly distributed via the media to reach a huge audience.

Fingerprinting: Fingerprinting is a well known means of identification. Everyone's prints are unique. Resourceful parents keep fingerprints available should the need arise.

Toothprints Bit Impressions: A quick and easy process of taking teeth impressions. Even in a child who is losing and gaining teeth, a dental imprint gives both accurate and important information for identification purposes.
