🤝 Partnership Is the Model
At the National Child Protection Task Force, we believe every missing child deserves more than a search—they deserve a system that can truly meet their unique needs once they’re located.
Our strength comes not from a single agency or organization, but from the impact we create together. We are partners — connected by purpose, built to take action for our most vulnerable.
We built our entire model on this truth: collaboration saves kids.
Together, we identify patterns, locate missing children, and connect them to meaningful help. Our partners are the reason we can respond quickly, work smarter, and ensure long-term safety after a child is found. This is what a true Child Protection Task Force looks like.
Through Missing Child Rescue Operations, we unite local, state, and federal agencies with service providers, advocates, and nonprofits to ask one essential question:
What does this child need — to be safe, to be heard, to be healthy, to be home?
A missing child rescue operation unites
Find + listen + help
Our mission is urgent — and so is what comes next.
When a child is located, we don’t just celebrate. We listen.
We ask:
What were they running from?
Who were they running to?
What needs to change for this child to be safe?
Then, through trusted partnerships, we help connect that child with the services, support, and stability they need — right in their community.
Our Missing Child Rescue Operations are changing the game — because they change the system.
Each operation improves collaboration, creates new relationships, and helps everyone involved protect children more effectively in the future.
This is systemic change at the individual level. One child at a time.
Because people care.
We don’t receive federal funding. We don’t have a massive budget. But what we do have is a powerful team, cutting-edge technology, and partners who never stop showing up.
And every investigation is funded by donors who believe that every child deserves to be found — and protected.
