the timely search and recovery of at-risk abducted
children;
b) Maintain up-to-date knowledge and expertise of those
protocols, best practices, and technologies that are most
effective for recovering missing children in a timely
manner;
c) Maintain relationships with federal, state, and local
law enforcement agencies and other entities responsible for
the investigation of missing persons in the state;
d) Maintain records and make the Commission on Peace

EXISTING LAW
1)Requires the Attorney General (AG) to establish and maintain
the Violent Crime Information Center to assist in the
identification and the apprehension of persons responsible for
specific violent crimes and the disappearance and exploitation
of persons.
2)Requires the AG to establish and maintain an online automated
computer system designed to effect an immediate law
enforcement response to reports of missing persons. This
information is available to law enforcement agencies unless
the reporting agency requests the information not be released
because it would impair a criminal investigation.
3)Requires the AG to establish the Missing and Exploited
Children's Recovery Network. This network consists of a
computer system which electronically transmits a missing child
poster, containing the name, personal description and picture
of the mission child to all state and local law enforcement
agencies. The AG shall work in cooperation with the National
Center for Mission and Exploited Children to develop and
implement a network that can electronically interface with the
National Network.
4)Requires the California Highway Patrol to activate the
Emergency Alert System where a child under the age of 18, or a
person who has a proven physical or mental disability, has
been abducted and is in imminent danger of serious bodily
injury or death.

personal property located on that property, purchased entirely
with local funds and sold before January 1, 2005, into the
general fund of the school district and use the proceeds from
the sale for any one-time general fund purpose.
