Missing Children Technology

TECHNOLOGY AIDS IN LOCATING MISSING CHILDREN
“This is an urgent message from the Braintree Police Department. We are currently looking for a missing child in your area. The missing child’s name and description is…”

This is a message you could hear when you answer your phone through a service available in your area.

1,000 telephone alert calls placed within 60 seconds can help save a life.

The Braintree Police Department has recently formalized their relationship with a national program that assists in the search of missing children, the elderly (often with Alzheimer’s), and the disabled in the first critical hours of their disappearance. A Child Is Missing Alert Program. (ACIM) is the only program of its kind in the country offered free to law enforcement

A Child Is Missing Alert is a non-profit organization that uses a high technology telephone alert system to canvas a neighborhood with calls describing the missing person and asking anyone with leads to call their local police department. Alert calls are launched within 15 minutes from request for assistance at a rate of 1,000 calls per 60 seconds.

A Child Is Missing Alert can work in tandem with the Amber Alert. ACIM relays information to the public immediately. Their only criterion is that a child or elderly person is missing. However, there are incidences where both programs could be activated.

A Child Is Missing Alert has been serving law enforcement since 1997 and to date, over 11 million telephone alert calls have been made to help find missing individuals. A Child Is Missing Alert has been credited by law enforcement with 105 safe recoveries in the last 40 months.

For further information call the Braintree Police Department at 781-843-1212 or A Child Is Missing Alert Program 954-763-1288 or visit www.achildismissing.org. If your phone number is unlisted, you can register your phone number with A Child Is Missing on-line.
