National Center for Missing & Exploited Children/ Kansas City Branch

Mission Statement

The mission of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is to find missing children; eliminate child sexual exploitation; identify those who prey upon children and help bring them to justice; prevent the victimization of children; and assist the victims of child abduction and sexual exploitation, their families, and the professionals who serve them.

The goal of the Kansas City Branch / Missouri Law Enforcement Training Center (MOLETC) is to provide law enforcement with the most up-to-date information necessary to properly recognize, understand, investigate, and resolve cases involving missing, exploited, and abducted children. Our objective is to complement other training programs offered by NCMEC, to increase awareness of NCMEC resources to law enforcement, and to provide the latest prevention-education strategies to local communities.
