About Us

We started Guard-A-Kid because of the unmet demand for a best in class international organization focused exclusively on child safety. Our core mission is to provide safety to children and to give parents comfort, security, and a head start if their children go missing. Our flagship product, the Guard-A-Kid Child Safety Identification Kit, is an award winning, best in class identication product that has more information and critical data than any other child identification product on the market today. 

Law enforcement officials urge parents everywhere to keep an updated picture, all 10-fingerprints and critical information about their child at their fingertips. They believe that access to photo, fingerprints and other critical information in the first 30 minutes after the child is reported missing can play a critical role in the quick and safe recovery of the child.
