ABDUCTION CENTRAL ALERT (ACA)
SERVICE ENDS JULY 31, 2010
After 12 Years of Uninterrupted Service the Abduction Central Alert Program is Scheduled for Shutdown
(DUSHORE, PA – July 12, 2010) – The Child Alert Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit charity that has assisted law enforcement in issuing "Amber Alerts" with our copyrighted Abduction Central Alert (ACA) community notification system. First released in August 1998, the ACA system was the first in the nation to provide totally automated 'Amber Alerts' to surrounding communities across the nation in a matter of seconds/minutes of being issued and was later expanded in 2008 to activate Silver Alerts for the missing elderly. After twelve (12) years of uninterrupted service the Child Alert Foundation will be terminating the ACA first responder service and will change the focus of our efforts to one of a secondary support role for law enforcement and support organizations.
The Child Alert Foundation has long been an advocate for helping missing individuals regardless of age and is proud to have been the first organization to have provided an Alert Notification System (ANS) to the nation that not only prequalified and automated the Amber Alert process but also addressed the needs of the elderly and activated Silver Alerts as well. The Child Alert Foundation will continue to support law enforcement agencies and promote child safety as well as electronic child fingerprinting services with the ACA Child Identification Poster System (CHIPS) program but the Abduction Central Alert (ACA) notification service will be terminated July 31, 2010.
The Child Alert Foundation would like to thank all of those individuals and organizations that we have worked with during these past 12 years and will continue to do our best to promote child safety as our role changes and we operate in a lesser capacity.
