Key Features

Speed is critical in locating missing and abducted children, particularly when they have been taken across international borders.

The rapid distribution of a missing child's photograph in the media and on posters can make the difference between a fast recovery and a prolonged search. This is especially true at the very beginning of a search, when the entire community is on alert.

The Missing Kids Website enables law enforcement agencies to instantly disseminate photographs of and information on missing children around the world for the public to view 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

  • Only trained police officers and staff can input information on the website.
  • It is extremely secure. The website content is fully protected from unauthorised interference by a complex security system.
  • It allows posters to be quickly and easily distributed.
  • It enables police forces to instantly transmit the photograph and details of a missing child to other police forces throughout the UK as well as around the world.
  • The website has now been established in 15 countries, with 10 more countries in development.
  • The technology includes age-progression techniques that have proven successful in identifying and retrieving children years after they went missing.
