Child Rescue Alert system
Child Rescue Alert system (CRA) is a partnership between Missing People and The National Crime Agency (NCA) to issue alerts at the touch of a button when a child disappears, is in imminent danger or is abducted.
The CRA is a mechanism to centralise possible clues and leads from the public and sift these for information needed by the senior investigating officer in charge of the hunt.
An alert can be triggered by any British police force - but only when a case matches three criteria:
- The child must be under 18
- There is a “reasonable belief” that the child is in imminent danger of serious harm
- There is sufficient information for the public to be able to help the police investigation
