LOCAL SECURITY SYSTEMS COMPANY TAKES SAFETY
ONE STEP FURTHER TO PROTECT AREA CHILDREN

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - As part of an ongoing effort to assist parents in archiving important data about their children, Guardian Protection Services will host its GuardianKIDS ID Program on Saturday, October 8, 2005, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the parking lot of the Intech Business Park in Indianapolis. The program is co-sponsored by the Pike Township Fire Department. The event is open to the public and will be held rain or shine.

The event will give parents an opportunity to have their child’s fingerprints and photo taken using a state-of-the art fingerprinting lab and digital equipment utilized by agencies including federal law enforcement. Guardian made a substantial financial investment in this high-tech computerized system, which fingerprints and photographs without the use of ink or film. It delivers the highest quality available and can capture and magnify viable prints from children as young as three months old. Parents immediately receive an 8 1/2x11-inch “Bio-Doc” laser print that includes the child’s fingerprint, photo and blank fields for vital information. There is no charge for this valuable service.

The event will also feature a classic car show, plus antique and new fire engine displays. Attendees will enjoy a live performance from the band Safe and Sound Squad, while children enjoy ongoing performances from Safety Bob. Various safety presentations will also be featured throughout the day. Free food and free 9-volt batteries from Batteries Plus will be available.

Guardian Protection Services, the underwriter of the event, is an Indianapolis area company specializing in residential and commercial security systems and structured wiring products for new home construction. In the last ten years Guardian Protection Services has distributed more than 75,000 child ID kits at no charge to police officers, schools and neighborhood watch groups. “In the case of a missing child, we know how important vital statistics are to law enforcement,” said Guardian Protection Services president Joseph Colosimo, adding, “if we can assist parents in documenting this important information we are being true to our mission of providing life safety services in the most comprehensive way possible.”
