A CHILD IS MISSING
Chief Sinacore
has been searching for a program like the Amber Alert that would help the
Police Department find a child that
is missing. He has found it. A Child Is Missing (ACIM) is a Florida based non-profit organization founded in 1997 to help
locate children by high tech telephony. When a person is reported missing to the
police, the officer calls ACIM and provides pertinent information. The information includes, but is not limited
to: age, race, clothing worn, time and location last seen and name of
child. The ACIM technician pulls up the
location provided with computerized mapping systems. Then a personalized alert message is recorded
and phoned out to the area where the child was last seen. This system can place 1,000 calls in 60 seconds. The program is available 24 hrs, 7
days a week and 365 days a year! This
program is available to us at no cost! It will not only help locate children but
it will help locate elderly with Alzheimer’s and other mentally challenged
people. It can also alert residents if
pedophiles are in the area. This is a very exciting tool and it is already in effect in our village.
