Amber Alert Program
|
This is a tremendous program designed to expedite the search for and return of abducted children through priority dedication of law enforcement, media and other community, state and federal resources. It is a voluntary partnership between law enforcement and broadcasters designed to activate an urgent bulletin in child-abduction cases. The goal of AMBER Alert is to instantly alert the entire community to assist in the immediate search for and safe return of abducted children. Since its introduction in Kansas, the KACP has been actively involved in this program through member agency commitments and financial support for Amber Alert training.

Each year, nearly 1,000 officers in Kansas take part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. An international program which actually began in Kansas, this program is comprised of officers carrying an Olympic-type torch, relay-style, across the state to the Special Olympics Summer Games in Wichita each June. In addition to direct annual contributions by KACP, more than $250,000 is raised each year for Kansas Special Olympics by KACP members and their officers involved in the Torch Run.
