An Operation KidSafe free child-safety event is coming to Renton on May 18 and 19.

The event features a digital system that can digitally fingerprint and photograph a child in 30 seconds or less with no ink and no film. The family then has a digital quality set of prints that is long-lasting.

There is no data-basing. The parent is handed the finished product, a letter-size document, with the child’s digital fingerprints and photo. The quality is so good that the prints can be scanned into the National Crime Computer if the child is ever missing.

The focus is education, so each parent will receive the top tips for safety at the event, according to organizers.

KidSafe will be at Good Chevrolet, 325 S.W. 12th St., noon-6 p.m. Friday, May 18, and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 19.
