Child
Rescue Alert was launched nationally in 2006, as a ground-breaking initiative
to save abducted children from being murdered.
The scheme works by interrupting television and radio programmes with immediate
news flashes that a youngster has been snatched and is at risk of serious harm
or death.
By joining with the media, police forces are able to spread the message to
a vast cross-section of the public within moments, asking them to keep their
eyes and ears open and to call 999 if they have crucial information.
