Abstract

This issue of The Amber Advocate features a cover story about siblings of missing children collaborating on the newly updated resource What About Me?, which provides guidance about law enforcement and judicial processes and tips for navigating traditional media and social media. This issue also includes a piece about the dramatic nighttime rescue of a girl from the piney woods of Louisiana spotlighting cutting-edge drone technology and a profile of Morrissa Ahl-Moyer, North Carolina’s AMBER Alert Coordinator. The training segment features information about AATTAP’s course, 911 Telecommunicators and Missing & Abducted Children (or “911 T-MAC,” for short) for law enforcement and public safety telecommunicators but also for any members of law enforcement and support staff who address public calls for help. The issue also includes AMBER Alert and child protection news as well as news briefs from the United States, Indian Country, and around the world, as well as links to training and network opportunities.
