HOW IT WORKS
How SafeID works
76,000+ children served across Ontario.
Just 10–15 minutes — no more than 15 minutes to complete your kit.
Officially helping police when it matters
SafeID is an Ontario Masons program working with regional and national law enforcement agencies.
Kits use police-approved identification techniques to help police if someone goes missing.
Information is shared with police only when the kit holder or their authorized representative provides it.
