Organizations in Ozark, Missouri are teaming up to bring the Missouri Child Identification Program (MO CHIP) to their community. The new program aims to speed up the recovery process through multiple forms of identification in the unfortunate event that a child goes missing.

Included in the program are digital photographs and fingerprints, dental bite impressions (used both for DNA and canine scent), two laminated ID cards, and child information such as medical history and emergency contacts. None of the information is kept by the program. All resources go back to parents who enroll their children in the program on mini computer discs, with the exception of a signed permission form that stays with MO CHIP. The information is formatted in compliance with the Amber Alert Program. Two children have been recovered so far using the new child ID tools.
