The Child-Centered 9-1-1 Missing Kids Readiness Project and APCO Want Your Input!

APCO International March 16, 2012 APCO

Is your 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Center ready to respond to a missing, abducted, or sexually exploited child call? There is a national standard for 9-1-1 best practices for these calls, established in collaboration between the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), National Academies of Emergency Dispatch (NAED), The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO), National Emergency Number Association (NENA), and Amber Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program. Through this program, thousands of public safety professionals have attended online and classroom training. More than 60 agencies have adopted best practices for calls pertaining to missing, abducted, and sexually exploited children in their polices and training protocols. Free training and resources are available to your agency so that you will be prepared for this type of call. If you have not participated in any of the free training made available, we would like to hear from you through a very short (5 minutes) survey.

 The survey can be accessed by clicking here.
