The Roswell Police Department has become a member of the Missing Kids Readiness Project, which promotes best practices for responding to calls of missing, abducted and sexually exploited children.

Roswell police 911 worked with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to ensure its missing child policy met the critical elements of NCMEC’s model policy. It is the sixth agency in Georgia and one of 274 in the U.S. to have achieved this status, police said.

Additionally, 911 Communications Director Melissa Alterio completed the classroom training course for Public Safety Answering Point directors and managers, and ensured all first responders and front line supervisors completed the necessary classroom and/or online training offered through NCMEC, police said.
