body ‘it's unpleasant to think about such a thing, but if a body is found and can be idenufied, then parents can put their minds at rest.”’ says Booth.

The fingerprints will also prove invaluable if a child as kidnapped and held in a vehicle or room. Booth says the place where the child was held can be ‘“‘dusted for prints’ to prove the child was actually in certain locations.

Thirdly, the fingerprints will also enable police to identify children tnvolved in domestic kidnappings ‘It we get information five years down the road that a kid napped child has) been spotted, we'll be able to match the prints Prints never change, but a child's looks can change dramatically,’ says Booth

Informational torms for the fingerprinting sessions, requiring such data as

doctors’ or dentists’ names, can be picked up in advance at London Drugs.

Booth says the RCMP 1s expecting up to 4000 children at the three day blitz, despite the fact that about $0 to 60 per cent of the children fingerprinted at the recent West Vancouver pohce fingerprinting session were from North Vancouver

“We're doing this in response fo the public's demand tor i Our program is part of a blitz by all the ROMP detachments on the Lower Mainland this weekend,” says Booth ‘But parents should realize that it a child has already fingerprinted in one atea, those prints do mot have te be duplicated “
