More than 30,000 children are reported missing each year, with less than 1 percent on broadcast through the AMBER alert system due to its specific criteria and high threshold. Unfortunately, this means that the risk for children and youth increases as each minute passes that they’re not found in a safe place.
In partnership with the Missing Children’s Society of Canada (MCSC), Esri Canada, and Microsoft, the MCSC Child Search Network was developed alongside police services to provide resources, capacity, and scale to engage with the community in real-time to search for a missing child.
Discover why the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) identified MCSC’s Child Search Network as the complementary tool and national system to be used in the search for all cases of high-risk missing children that do not meet the strict criteria for the AMBER Alert and is now part of Canada’s national strategy for missing children.
