The search and recovery of a missing child requires the cooperation of New Hampshire law enforcement, criminal justice and other public agencies. The Amber Alert program in New Hampshire is a partnership between law enforcement agencies and broadcasters to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases and provides an example of the collaboration necessary to achieve the safe recovery of a missing child. The New Hampshire Division of State Police Investigative Services Bureau, Major Crime Unit, maintains the State Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children. The New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children is a nationally funded state program to combat internet child sexual exploitation. The internet also serves a vital role by providing search databases, websites which offer lists, photos, and details of children currently missing in New Hampshire, and information and resources to support families dealing with a missing child.
