🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Together, We Did This: 47 Missing Kids Found in Buffalo Last month, The National Child Protection Task Force, alongside the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services Missing Persons Clearinghouse, launched an ambitious operation that brought together dozens of law enforcement agencies, technology partners, and support services. Together, we tackled 50 active missing child cases in just three days. The result? We helped law enforcement locate 47 missing children. That’s 47 vulnerable lives potentially transformed. And the impact didn’t stop there. This was more than an operation— it was a movement. It ignited new partnerships, strengthened skills, and renewed purpose for everyone involved. From officers and advocates to NCPTF supporters like YOU, we proved that when we come together, we can take bold steps to protect kids. Thank you for standing with us. Stay tuned— this is just the beginning of something truly incredible. ✨ Kevin Branzetti Griffin Glynn Micah Hoffman Heather Dark Jen Wasem Teresa J. Al Rollins Kyle N. Justin Cook Hanna G.
