Code Adam
|
EMCOR Group, Inc. is
the proud sponsor of
the Code Adam program. |
|
Code
Adam is a powerful search tool for lost and possibly abducted children
currently used in tens of thousands
of establishments across the nation. The program is simple to learn
and to implement: a special Code Adam alert is issued on the premises
when a customer reports a missing child.
Offered free of charge to participants, it is one of the country’s
largest child-safety programs, created and named in memory of 6-year-old Adam
Walsh.
How it Works
Code Adam decals are posted at the entrance of participating buildings/establishments.
Employees of participating establishments are trained to take the following
steps when a Code Adam is activated:
- Obtain
a detailed description of the child and what he or she is
wearing.
- Go to the nearest in-house telephone and page “Code Adam,” describing
the child’s physical features and clothing. Designated employees immediately
stop working and look for the child. Designated employees monitor
front entrances to ensure the child does not leave the premises.
- If the child is not found within 10 minutes, call law enforcement.
- If the child is found and appears to have been lost and unharmed, reunite
the child with the searching family member.
- If the child is found accompanied by someone other than a parent or legal
guardian, make reasonable efforts to delay their departure without putting
the child, staff, or visitors at risk. Immediately notify law enforcement
and give details about the person accompanying the child.
- Cancel the Code Adam page after the child is found or
law enforcement arrives.
