It was Pennsylvania certified as a non-profit organization in 1998. The foundation is dedicated to assisting federal and local law enforcement agencies in recovering abducted children. The software, written by Vincent III, shortens the length of time it takes for police to get information about abductions to newspapers, radio and television. Right now, the system requires someone to contact each media entity separately, manually by fax or phone. That takes time.
Every minute counts when a child is abducted.
Our system can transmit the same information to all sites in minutes. Vincent input data on-line exactly as the police would. In less than 30 seconds a fax machine responded, printing out the alert. The Child Alert Foundation software package is available inexpensively to police agencies. There is no cost for participating media.
