MissouriMOCHIP
MOCHIP is a comprehensive child identification program
designed to give families of the State of Missouri a measure of protection
against the ever increasing problem of missing and abducted children.
Missouri Freemasons are in the process of bringing this program to communities
throughout the State. The Masonic Children's Foundation is
working with local Masonic Lodges to develop consistent and successful MOCHIP
events as part of our ongoing commitment to Missouri's children and
families. This program is provided "FREE OF CHARGE" to every
Missouri family who participates.
How does it work?
The program consists of five major components:
-Digital Photographs
-Digital Fingerprints
-Child Information and Emergency contacts
-Dental bite impression
-Two (2) laminated ID cards
The digital photograph, digital fingerprint and Child Information and
emergency contacts are given to the parent or guardian of the child on a
compact "rink" computer disk. The information on the disk is compatible
with the format required by the "AMBER ALERT" program.
The dental bit impression provides an impression of the biting surface of the
child's teeth, which like fingerprints. are unique to each individual. The
dental impression collects enough saliva to provide a DNA sample and a source
for a scent for trained canine search and recovery teams. Together, these five
measures provide a powerful identification and recovery tool.
The Masonic Children's Foundation retains no information concerning the
children, only a signed permission slip is retained by the Foundation.
