Mackey '00 is national manager of distributor development
for Fingerprint America, based in Albany, New York. Mackey created
and manages a program that distributes child identification and
safety products—fingerprinting and DNA collection kits, safety
helmets, car seat identification decals, and a child safety video
and sing-along CD. “The ultimate goal,” says Mackey,
“is to get our products to families everywhere. Parents can
hold all the materials—current photos, fingerprints, medical
information—that police need for an emergency. Having this
documentation isn't necessarily going to prevent a kidnapping,
but it will allow emergency personnel to quickly identify and hopefully
return a missing child. The kits also open up a line of dialogue
between parent and child about safety, and they provide some peace
of mind and a sense of security.”
