Missing-Child Clearinghouse Program
Each of the 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, and the Netherlands, provides resources
for missing children, their families, and the professionals who serve
them. These resources are referred to as missing-child clearinghouses.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) maintains a
liaison with each missing-child clearinghouse and helps ensure they are familiar
with the many resources available through NCMEC. NCMEC provides missing-child
clearinghouses with training, technical assistance, and vital information to
better assist them in handling missing-child cases.
The missing-child clearinghouses are diverse in their delivery
of services because of state and territorial mandates and the variety
of agencies in which they exist. The primary areas of focus for missing-child
clearinghouses are networking, information dissemination,
training development and delivery, data collection, and provision of
technical assistance in cases of missing and sexually exploited children. NCMEC
and missing-child clearinghouses closely work together to help ensure
a comprehensive approach to child protection.
Below is a list of missing-child clearinghouses in each of those jurisdictions.
