LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREERS COMPLEMENT COUPLE’S PASSION FOR DIGIKIDS® CHILD ID SAFETY SERVICE
In response to the more than 2,200 missing children reported in the
United States each day, DIGIKIDS® offers a Child Safety CD that allows
parents to quickly provide law enforcement officials, the media, the
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other agencies
with two high-resolution digital photos along with medical and identifying
information to aid in recovery efforts.
TAMARAC, Florida — July 24, 2007 — Ari and Jenna Dorfman have been awarded
the exclusive DIGIKIDS® child ID franchise for portions of Broward County,
including Tamarac and Fort Lauderdale, announced Michael J. Childs,
president.
DIGIKIDS® offers a Child Safety CD that allows parents to quickly provide
law enforcement officials, the media, the National Center for Missing &
Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other agencies with two high-resolution
digital photos along with medical and identifying information to aid in
recovery efforts.
“As a police officer and a police dispatcher, Jenna and I know that getting
detailed information about a missing child is critical to achieving a safe
return,” explained Ari Dorfman. “That’s why DIGIKIDS® is the superior child
safety ID choice for parents, because DIGIKIDS® empowers investigators
upfront with key information about a missing child.”
“Because Ari and I love working with kids, we were looking for an
opportunity to make a difference in children’s lives,” Jenna Dorfman added.
“We felt an immediate connection with the DIGIKIDS® service and people.”
A native of South Florida, Ari Dorfman has worked in law enforcement and as
a police office for the past 10 years, serving since 2001on road patrol.
Before that, he was an after-school and summer camp counselor, and assistant
camp director for the Jewish Community Center. He has coached children’s
roller and ice hockey, a sport he has played himself since the age of 5.
Jenna Dorfman, also a native of South Florida, works as a police dispatcher.
She attends Florida Atlantic University, where she is pursuing an elementary
education degree. She holds an AA degree in business administration.
The couple married in 2006 and plan to add to their family soon. For
recreation and relaxation, the Dorfmans enjoy travel and time outdoors,
including mountain biking and hiking.
Offered through schools, preschools, churches, summer camps and other public
events, DIGIKIDS® delivers its secure Child ID kits on site in two minutes
or less. The cost to enroll each child is only $15.95.
“Ari and Jenna are profile representatives for DIGIKIDS®, not only because
they bring a keen understanding of the challenges law enforcement officials
face in the safe recovery of missing children, but also because they are
passionate about children, family and community,” said Michael Childs. “We
are proud to welcome Ari and Jenna Dorfman to our fast-growing DIGIKIDS®
family of franchisees.”
According to the NCMEC, acting within the first 20 minutes of a child’s
disappearance is critical. By using the easily carried business card-sized
CD ROM, parents are equipped to distribute pre-formatted flyers and posters,
complete with high-resolution photos and last-minute identifying details,
anywhere in the world via internet e-mail.
“The electronic delivery to law enforcement officials of a child’s digitized
photo can save crucial time, since the chances of safely recovering a child
are much greater with the first few hours immediately following a child’s
disappearance,” explains John Walsh, founder of NCMEC.
With its patent-pending technology to create each Child Safety CD, DIGIKIDS®
offers parents anywhere a secure and efficient tool that can help speed the
return of lost or missing children.
Beyond typical child identity programs that provide only an ID card, the
DIGIKIDS® CD enables parents to make a speedy and comprehensive worldwide
distribution of critical identifying information using any PC with a CD-ROM
drive. Each emergency e-mail and attachments are sent through a dedicated,
secure network. DIGIKIDS® does not create or maintain a central database,
guaranteeing security and privacy.
Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, DIGIKIDS® presents and supports its
services nationally through independent franchisees. In addition to schools
and preschools, DIGIKIDS® ability to produce the Child ID kits on site in
two minutes or less affords a perfect opportunity for any local business
wishing to sponsor a DIGIKIDS® safety event as a vehicle for giving back to
the local community or its employees.
