Program Information:

Investigating missing and abducted children cases are emotionally and polarizing occurrences for families, communities and law enforcement. This one day, 6-hour program, taught by a retired FBI Special Agent who worked Crimes Against Children investigations for many years, has been developed to facilitate law enforcement agencies in locating and investigating children of abductions/kidnappings. This program will provide law enforcement executives and command staff with an overview of these types of  investigations and provide insight on the necessary response by local, state and/or federal law enforcement authorities.

Objectives of this class:
