A Skill Enhancement Training on Family and Non-Family Abductions.

Course Overview: This basic training introduces participants to a multidisciplinary approach to assist professionals working within all facets of child abduction. This is an opportunity for county partners to increase their understanding of the roles of each agency and network with partner agencies toward a more coordinated response to missing and abducted children. It is suitable for: child abuse and abduction programs, child protective services, law enforcement officials, mental health professionals, non-profit organizations, prosecutors and investigators, sexual assault/domestic violence programs, victim-witnesses, and school personnel.

The goals of this training are to: increase awareness and ability to respond to child abduction, promote collaboration between agencies to develop a more coordinated response, and understand the importance each discipline plays in child abduction.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  1. Compare federal, state, and local law enforcement resources when working an abduction case.
  2. Summarize reporting requirements and timelines.
  3. Demonstrate increased understanding of liability when dealing with custody disputes and cases.
