A program that would provide identification cards to homeless persons in the community was discussed Monday by Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department officials. Deputy Chief Pam Waldeck with several police officials described the program, which is modeled on one currently in operation in Topeka, Kansas. The police outreach team, in coordination with Cross-Lines Community outreach, identified a need, the difficulty that unsheltered people here have in getting identification cards, according to police officials. Under the proposed program, identification cards would be issued by the Police Department and would be valid for one year. Police would verify the identity of persons applying for the cards.
