Child Abduction Response Team (CART)

A Child Abduction Response Team (CART) is a specialized group of law enforcement and partner agencies trained to quickly coordinate efforts when a child is abducted. Their goal is to rapidly investigate, locate, and recover the child while minimizing harm. CART members work together to gather information, issue alerts like AMBER Alerts, and implement recovery strategies. The team’s coordination ensures a swift, organized response to maximize the chances of a safe return, emphasizing communication, expertise, and community involvement in child abduction cases.
