Minutes Matter. The Department of Justice reported in 2002 that nearly 800,000 children are reported missing each year. That’s more than 2000 children per day. The faster the word gets out through law enforcement and media alerts, the more likely a missing child will be found safely.*

“NCMEC urges parents or guardians to maintain easily accessible, good-quality photographs of their children. SafeAssured helps them accomplish this,” states Ernie Allen, President and CEO of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
