Abstract

The AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program (AATTAP) offers this Guide to Program Components and Implementation in recognition and support of Child Abduction Response Team (CART) program interest, initiatives, and efforts across the U.S., in Indian Country and Alaskan Native Villages, and internationally. This publication is built upon the knowledge and expertise of trained law enforcement, emergency response, and child-protection professionals who have contributed to the CART program curriculum and regularly share their experiences through AATTAP's CART training courses and workshops. From AATTAP's subject-matter expert cadre—and through the diligence, commitment, and ingenuity of veteran and new CART programs—we can collectively ensure a better and more comprehensive response when a child is missing.
