NEVADA CHILD SEEKERS MERGING CORPORATION

Nevada Child Seekers is currently the only nonprofit missing children's organization in Nevada. We work closely with various law enforcement agencies to ensure our children are protected and searched for. These agencies consist of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Henderson Police Department, the US Marshals Service, the US Secret Service and many others. In addition, we maintain a strong relationship with the Attorney General's Office in Nevada especially when pertaining to missing children's cases.

Nevada Child Seekers was created to not only serve the community, but to serve and assist law enforcement in any way possible. Nevada Child Seekers provides support to law enforcement through interviewing searching families to obtain information to aid in the search for the missing child(ren) and assists in following up on leads.

Your generous gift will make a difference in our ability to continue to advocate for and engage in prevention, identification, and location efforts on behalf of missing and exploited children. Nevada Child Seekers is proactive in addressing the problem from a prevention standpoint by developing programs and materials to inform parents, children, and the community about the safety of Nevada’s most vital resource; our children.
