| Project Description: |
| A rapid response system that assists police departments statewide in the search/ early recovery of missing children, the disabled, the elderly, in addition to providing sexual predator notification at the request of law enforcement. In various emergencies that involve finding missing children, A Child Is Missing (ACIM) can assist law enforcement in those searches. The cost of providing this service is quite costly, but when the cost is spread out, this important tool can be accessible and affordable to all law enforcement agencies. This is a Public/Private Partnership with a not-for profit organization. And there is no other total service like this in Florida at the present time. It is basically free to law enforcement. For example, the funding allocated this current fiscal year allowed ACIM to provide service and training to areas that had not yet been reached while continuing personalized training to the State. |

| Is this a water project as described in Chapter 2002-291, Laws of Florida? |
No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| At present, the program is available to every law enforcement agency in Florida. ACIM has been able to produce results by way of leads to finding people, thus saving law enforcement many hours and additional expense. As services expand, law enforcement will have access to ACIM services just by calling. The entire community benefits and it is a program that the citizens of Florida can tangibly see working and making a difference. |
