Written by Candace Birkelbach Tuesday, 30 September 2008
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children opened a regional office in Northwest Austin Sept. 29.
The new office will provide training for law enforcement and prosecutors with an emphasis on internet-related crimes against children. The office will also work with and assist government and non-government organizations in prevention and education programs to educate the community about child safety.
Case managers will be at the new office to assist state and local law enforcement in the region with difficult missing children cases. The Texas regional office will have a small number of staff located in Austin but will bring the full resources of NCMEC to the region.
The office in Austin will be fully funded by private donations, except for two case managers which NCMEC will locate in the new Austin office. Call 465-2156 or visit www.missingkids.com.
