PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

If a grantee accepts certain federal funds, it must send yearly reports to the federal Administrator and make them available to the public. The reports must give seven nationwide counts, including numbers of children reported missing, children reported as victims of non-family and family abductions, missing children who were later found, children missing from State-sponsored care and those recovered from State-sponsored care, and children missing from State-sponsored care who are likely victims of child sex trafficking. The grantee must also track attempted child abductions to find links and patterns, share that information with law enforcement, and make it public when appropriate. Each year the grantee must publish the rules and steps it uses to create forensic partnerships and recommend forensic help to law enforcement, review those partnerships and referrals against the rules, and check new technology advances.
