National Center For Missing And Exploited Children

The ncmec missing children division operates the call center and provides case management services as part of their support to investigation and recovery efforts, disseminates posters and manages the secondary distribution of amber alerts informing the public of active missing child cases, organizes team adam consultants to provide rapid onsite responses to critical missing child cases, tracks attempted abductions in partnership with the ncmec analytical services division as a preventative measure, coordinates an array of forensic services to support long-term missing cases and cases of unidentified, deceased children, and is ready to deploy child location assistance in a national emergency.

The ncmec analytical services division provides technical assistance and data analysis to assist law enforcement in their efforts to locate and recover missing children and victims of domestic child sex trafficking and to locate and apprehend noncompliant sex offenders.

The ncmec content & community engagement division coordinates with all ncmec divisions to operate our portfolio of outreach, training, and prevention resources, programs, and materials to increase awareness of missing and exploited child issues as well as promote skill building and evidence-based practices for response and recovery. This division is responsible for ncmec connect, our online learning management system supporting virtual training courses and in-person learning opportunities to law enforcement, social services, and other child-serving professionals. This division also partners with national nonprofit organizations, law enforcement agencies, and businesses to organize community events, conferences, webinars, and other presentations, such as the code adam program promoting safety protocols within retail establishments, to amplify prevention and educational resources on child safety at no-cost to participants.
