Code ADAM by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children 

Code Adam was created in memory of 6-year-old Adam Walsh, who was tragically abducted from a Florida department store and later found murdered. Code Adam is a program of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, a nonprofit co-founded by Adam’s parents, John and Revé Walsh.

The program is a powerful search tool for lost and potentially abducted children. It is designed to help businesses, parks, government buildings and other establishments ensure that they have safety protocols in place to respond quickly and effectively to situations involving a missing child.

Code Adam is is one of the country's largest child safety programs, currently used in hundreds of thousands of locations nationwide.

The training division will have a training kit for each region that can be borrowed for staff trainings. Please reach out to Alyssa to reserve. Additional downloadable resources are available here- https://www.missingkids.org/codeadam/resources
