Attorney General Rokita Spearheads Statewide Child ID Program in Indiana

The Indiana Attorney General, Todd Rokita, has launched a pioneering Child ID Kit Program aimed at safeguarding kindergarten through 5th-grade students across the state. This initiative, the first of its kind by the Office, is a collaborative effort with the NFL Alumni, law enforcement, and school districts to provide a "Safety Gameplan" for young students.

The program, set to roll out this fall, will ensure every child in the specified age group receives a child ID kit at no cost to their families. These kits, which include tools for recording detailed information, photographs, fingerprints, and DNA, are designed to assist parents and law enforcement swiftly in case a child goes missing.

This move comes in response to the rising concerns of human trafficking and aims to enhance child safety through the collective efforts of various organizations and funding from public and private sources.

Brownsburg Fire Territory Retains The Highest Rating

From the desk of Fire Chief Larry Alcorn:

I have received the final report from our most recent evaluation from ISO. I am pleased to report that the Brownsburg Fire Territory has maintained the rating of a class 1 fire department. The Territory increased slightly over our last evaluation in 2019. We have strategies in place and will continue to strengthen areas of the organization over the next 2 years to assure we maintain our class 1 rating.

The ISO, or Insurance Services Office, provides a numerical rating, ranging from 1 to 10, known as the ISO rating. This score evaluates the effectiveness of public fire protection in a community, considering factors such as the fire department, emergency communications, water supply, and community risk reduction. A lower ISO rating, like Brownsburg Fire Territory’s score of 1, reflects excellent fire suppression capabilities. We are one of 5 in the state to hold this rating and one of over 700 across the nation.

We would like to thank our great community of Brownsburg Fire Territory. It is your support that empowers us to do our jobs well and serve you best. Thank you so much for the opportunity and the honor to serve such a wonderful community. We will continue to strive for excellence, for you!

Vigilantly Serving,

Larry C. Alcorn

Fire Chief
