Overview
The
system that we developed is very simple. A child gets his fingerprints and
photograph taken by one of our franchisees, and the basic information is
entered into a field on the computer.
The entire format is one page and
requires very little to no computer experience. It is a “point and click”
system.
Products & Services
The McGruff Safe Kids Total Identification System program is designed for preschool through 6th grade children.
Franchisees schedule events at schools, day cares, summer camps or special events and digitally fingerprint and photograph the childrens who's parent(s) wish them to participate in this National child safety/education program.
Franchisees provide the parent(s) with a letter explaining the program, what they will receive, and obtain written permission to process the child.
No child will be fingerprinted or photographed without parental consent.
Franchisees provide the teachers with McGruff® the Crime Dog and other educational videos to play while we process the participating children.
The tapes are for all of the children to watch so all the children will benefit. These tapes include:
- McGruff® on Stranger Danger
- McGruff® on Personal Property
- McGruff's Bully Alert
- McGruff® on Pedestrian and Bicycle Laws
- Staying Away from Strangers
- Faux Paw the Techno Cat in Adventures in the Internet
Franchisees also provide the teachers with an educational lesson plan for a question and answer session after the viewing of the educational tapes.

Why Mcgruff Safe Kids Total Identification System?
The franchisees charge a small fee for this service. There is no minimum amount of children needed for franchisees to hold an school event. If only one parent wants to participate in this program, it is important enough for franchisees to set up and process that child.
Are You a Good Fit for Mcgruff Safe Kids Total Identification System?
Prior
to being awarded a franchise, prospective franchisees must complete a thorough
background check. The results of the background check will be reviewed by the
corporate office and the National Crime Prevention Council. If acceptable, a
franchise will be awarded. We are sure that you understand how important it is
to protect the children we work with and the good name of McGruff the Crime
Dog®.
As part of the application process, we request a $100.00 non-refundable
charge so that we can complete a thorough background check before a franchise is
awarded.
