OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 25, 2021 / The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) has officially endorsed the Missing Children Society of Canada s (MCSC) new
Child Search Network, a national system designed to meet the gap of response for high-risk missing children cases that do not meet the strict criteria for the AMBER Alert, thereby significantly enhancing Canada s national strategy for missing persons.
Over 40,000 children go missing, run away or are abducted in Canada each year, but fewer than one per cent of those cases are broadcast to the public through AMBER Alerts.
Missing persons investigations can be complex, resource intensive and very costly. The CACP is grateful to the Missing Children Society of Canada and to Microsoft and Esri Canada for making this valuable new technology available to police services across Canada, free of charge.
The deadline to connect all the 2.5 lakh Gram Panchayats in the country and provide 100 Mbps connectivity to all the Panchayats is also set to be extended from the previous deadline of August 2021.In a
