Loveland and Symmes Township, Ohio – From the moment the report of a missing child comes in, to the resolution of the case, every action taken has the potential to make the difference between a successful recovery and a tragic outcome.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) developed the Missing Kids Readiness Program to promote best practices for responding to calls of missing, abducted, and sexually exploited children. Emergency communications centers and law enforcement agencies are recognized for meeting essential training and policy elements demonstrating preparedness for responding to a missing child incident.
To meet the requirements of the Program, the Northeast Communications Center (NECC) located at the Loveland Safety Center on Lebanon Road worked with NCMEC on their missing child policy to ensure it met the critical elements of the model policy for emergency communications centers. In addition, Aaron Burg, Captain of Communications, completed the required agency administrator training and ensured all Dispatchers and Training Officers completed their required training.
“By demonstrating remarkable leadership, and making this commitment of training and preparedness, NECC is communications to its citizens and families that protecting the lives and safety of their children is a top priority,” said Symmes Township in their Spring newsletter.
Armed with the information, knowledge, and operational resources gained through meeting the program criteria, NECC is positioned to respond more quickly, comprehensively, and effectively when a child’s life or safety may be at stake.
NECC becomes the 8th emergency communications center in the State of Ohio and the 2nd in the Greater Cincinnati region to become a member in the Missing Kids Readiness Program.
