A Detective’s Perspective, A Family’s Peace of Mind

The story features our founder, Chuck Still, a former juvenile detective with the Tustin Police Department, who saw firsthand how difficult it was to help families when a child went missing. He recalls beginning his career with 66 open cases, half of which involved missing or runaway children.

"Too often, families would hand over smudged fingerprint cards that were hard to use in real-time situations," Chuck explains in the interview. "I wanted to create something better, something accurate, accessible, and ready the moment it’s needed."

That mission led to the creation of My Family ID, a mobile app that enables families to securely capture high-quality fingerprints, 3D face scans, and vital information on their phones.

How the App Works

My Family ID offers a range of great security features. Here's a breakdown of how My Family ID works, offering a cutting-edge solution for family safety:

• Digital Fingerprinting & 3D Face Scans: Use your phone’s camera to capture high-resolution biometric data, eliminating the need for ink.

• Store Emergency Information: Save details such as physical traits, allergies, medications, and emergency contacts.

• Secure & Private: All data stays on your device and can be shared securely with trusted authorities.

• No Subscriptions: A one-time download for just $4.99. No ongoing fees, no hidden charges.

Whether you're at home, traveling, or simply enjoying a day at the park, My Family ID helps ensure you're prepared if the unthinkable happens.
