Project ALERT is a corps of more than 170 retired federal,
state, and local law-enforcement professionals who donate their time
and expertise as consultants to the law-enforcement communities throughout
the country. |
The average Project ALERT Representative (PAR) has retired after working
more than 20 years within a federal, state, or local, law-enforcement
agency. Although they are no longer sworn officers, they have not lost
their investigative expertise and wish to share their knowledge and experience
within the field through the Project ALERT program.
Project ALERT representatives are trained by the National Center
for Missing & Exploited
Children (NCMEC) and participate in a variety of ways on missing child cases.
They specialize in the long term missing children cases (cold cases). They perform
a wide range of functions including case review, organization and analysis, recommending
investigative strategies, assistance with case interviews and technical meetings
with law enforcement personnel to discuss additional resources.
Project ALERT members also represent NCMEC at law enforcement
conferences, provide law enforcement training, and address community
awareness initiatives. They can integrate NCMEC resources such as age
progression, facial reconstruction, poster distribution, DNA protocol,
search experts, and database searches into the investigation.
This consulting service is supplied at no cost to the requesting
agencies. All travel arrangements and expenses associated with travel and
resource materials are coordinated and paid for by NCMEC.

- seasoned investigators, critical resources, and additional manpower
to resolve long-term, missing-child cases
