Bracelets to locate children bring news this year – TVI24

The PSP program “I’m Here” kicks off this year with news. It is the third year of the initiative and, contrary to what happened in previous years, the bracelets will be activated directly in police stations.

“One of the issues we had was always present having delivered a large number of bracelets that were never activated and this for us was a problem. Not because people take the bracelet home and not to activate, but because the lead and use it aware that they were doing so well and never there have been, “explained the Deputy Commissioner Paul Flower holder . Voice PSP, speaking to “Diário da Manhã”

and
PSP explains how to get the device: “Go to Program site ‘I am here’ make the register and in the end choose the police station where they intend to lift the bracelet. When moving the police station, the police handing bracelet, automatically records the bracelet. “

The bracelet has an alphanumeric code, consisting of eight digits,” not transferable, which identifies a child who was rediscovered and allows us, in a stressful situation, we have the ability to tell the parent or caregiver where the child. “

The program is available from Monday, International Children’s Day. Last year’s bracelets no longer serve this year, “every time we started an annual program, no longer have access to the previous year’s data base.”

The PSP makes a positive assessment of the past two years. In 2013, about 24,000 applications were made and in 2014 the number rose to 25,000. “We are talking about a universe of 60,000 bracelets and only twice in 2013, is that the program has been activated (a situation in the Algarve and one in Lisbon),” says Paul Bloom.
This year, the program is available until end of the year, three more months than in previous years, the PSP expects to reach the 50,000 bracelets.
