Designed to ensure that the most up-to-date information is readily available to law enforcement officials as they investigate cases that involve missing and exploited children, this directory provides information on Federal resources pertinent to addressing this issue.
Abstract
The directory is a compilation of the many services, programs, publications, and training that address issues of child sexual exploitation, child pornography, child abductions, and missing children cases. The directory contains information that ranges from access to specialized forensic resources for an abducted child case, to proactive training and prevention programs. The manual describes the role of each agency that composes the Federal Agency Task Force for Missing and Exploited Children. These are agencies associated with the Department of Defense, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the Department of Treasury, the Postal Service, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The directory categorizes the type of assistance offered by each agency in helping to locate and recover missing and exploited children. Eleven appendixes list other organizations with some interest in and responsibility for providing services for missing and exploited children.
