The Masonic Child Identification Programs (CHIP) is provided by the Fulton-Friendship Masonic Lodge of Park Ridge and Tenafly, producing kits for parents that include a photograph, video tape interview, fingerprints and a dental imprint that captures the child’s DNA and scent.

No information is retained by the Masons.

There will also be a DJ, face painter, rides, free food and drinks donated by local businesses and the Sheriff’s Office.

Public Safety Night was organized to help teach residents, particularly children, on how to respond to emergencies.

“It’s a great way to educate and teach kids about safety and equip them with prevention tips,” Officer Charles Franke told CLIFFVIEW PILOT. “It’s also a night for the community to come out and learn more about what we do every day and what assets we have available to us.”
