This weekend, Santa Barbara’s Martial Arts Family Fitness (MAFF) will be a stop on the “Operation KidSafe National Safety Tour,” which travels around the U.S. offering a free digital fingerprinting and photo safety program. Here’s how it works: Kids are digitally fingerprinted and photographed and the data is given to parents in the form of a high-quality printout that can be given to law enforcement should your child go missing. Most importantly: There is no databasing or record of the children maintained; only the parents have the information. Top safety tips will also be given at the event, which is Sat.-Sun., June 21-22, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at Martial Arts Family Fitness, 122 E. Gutierrez Street. For more info, call MAFF at 963-6233 or visit kickboxers.com. KidSafe can be contacted directly (toll-free) at (866) 962-5487.
