National Law Enforcement and Security Institute (NLSI) Joins Dragon Tales Publishing As Sponsors of the The Dream Dragon Safety Squad and The National Children’s Information Registry

Children’s Character To Promote Safety
Tustin, CA—Dragon Tales Publishing announced today that  the National Law Enforcement and Security Institute (NLSI) will sponsor and promote the Dream Dragon Safety Squad, the National Children's Information Registry (NCIR) and the idea of "Kid Safety". These programs will promote safety for children and will offer valuable services for parents wishing to protect their children.

Dream Dragon Safety Squad: "Kid Safety" Is A Bright Idea
What is "Kid Safety"? Kid Safety is a special kind of safety. It is more than just being careful, it is about kids watching out for themselves and watching out for their friends. It is about learning how to be safe and about teaching other children what has been learned. Kid Safety is about becoming a leader and showing that you care! Kid Safety teaches children how to effectively handle dangerous situations. It teaches them what to do if a stranger approaches them or what to do if they are caught in a fire. It explains how playing with their friends can help keep them safe and that staying away from drugs and gangs can keep them out of trouble and safe! The first step towards Kid Safety is becoming an official Dream Dragon Safety Squad Member! When a child becomes a member, they will receive a complete membership kit. The kit includes different Kid Safety information and tips, a membership card and information about how to become a Safety Squad Special Agent. There is a one time $15.00 membership fee to become a Safety Squad Special Agent. As a Special Agent, a child will receive a fingerprinting kit, a Special Agent Identification Kit, a photo record sheet, a Safety Squad Special Agent membership card, a Special Agent Certificate of Safety and more! Parents will keep most of these items with other important documents.

Dream Dragon National Children’s Information Registry (NCIR)
The NCIR Program is sponsored by NLSI, a national leader in security and law enforcement training and personal safety programs. Through the NCIR Program the vital information needed when a child becomes missing is immediately accessible. The NCIR Program database maintains all the pertinent information that will assist in locating the child. Each child in the database has a current photo, as provided by the parents or guardian, a finger print record and all of the physical characteristics of the child. No matter where they are, a parent can have the peace of mind knowing that all of this important information is only a phone call away. The 24-hour staff can be conveniently reached through the NCIR toll-free telephone number. The NCIR operator will forward the child’s information to local law enforcement, mall security, event security or where ever the situation may call for. This information can be sent electronically, via computer modem, or by facsimile. Either way, this helpful information is in the hands of the professionals in just a matter of minutes. There is a $5.00 initial processing fee and an annual update fee of $5.00.
