When a child goes missing, the public often sees only a brief glimpse of the situation: a photograph, an alert on their phone, or a news story announcing the child has been found. What they do not see is the coordinated effort unfolding behind the scenes. Recovering a missing child is not a single action. It is a sustained mission built on urgency, partnership, and persistence.

The United States Marshals Service is proud to support the mission of finding and recovering our nation’s most vulnerable citizens.
