Tyesha M. Wood, Project Coordinator for AMBER Alert in Indian Country
This session will be an introduction to AMBER Alert in Indian Country (AIIC) and resources that are available to address missing and exploited children’s issues in Native communities. The AIIC initiative supports federally recognized Tribal communities in developing programs to safely recover endangered missing or abducted children through the coordinated efforts of the tribes and their local, state and federal partners by using training and technology to enhance response capacities, capabilities and increase public participation in protecting children. Attendees will also gain an understanding of the Ashlynne Mike AMBER Alert in Indian Country Act of 2018 and the ongoing efforts of AIIC to support the implementation of this Act.
