Traveling Soon? Be Prepared!
Download our Family Travel Itinerary below,
print and fill out the form. Make copies to keep with your other travel
documents and distribute copy to a family member or friend. In case of
an emergency or someone is lost, those traveling along with family and
friends will have an itinerary to assist law enforcement and search and
rescue groups.
Even though your life has been turned
upside down and you are living in utter confusion,
there has never been a more important time for you
to have your wits about you. While it is the law enforcement’s
job to search for missing people and while they are
the primary tool in the search for your child, you
are still your child’s best asset. Unfortunately
almost every precinct is overloaded with work, so even
though they might wish to devote every hour searching
for your child, the sheer number of cases and the limited
amount of manpower available to work those cases make
that impossible. Therefore, you must play a major role
in the recovery of your child. Click here for more
