CLEVELAND -- The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) cares about kids. Transit Police have a free fingerprinting and ID program for children called Operation KidWatch. These IDs could be vital to police if a child goes missing.

Parents must accompany their children and give permission to the officers to take pictures and fingerprints.
