RAISING AWARENESS
In most cases, the public can be an important ally in locating a missing child. This is where the Public Awareness Coordinator comes in.
For each public awareness opportunity, always think about how you will protect the searching family and the child’s privacy once they are located.
It is very important that all public awareness efforts be approved by the lead investigator of the case and not another member of the investigative team. This will ensure that no mistakes are made.
