Political Quotes

“Congress has made it a national priority to help States in the safe recovery of endangered children, and in addition to the $6 million in funds already provided as an earmark under the justice assistance account for the missing children's program in this bill, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention has established a Federal agency task force for Missing and Exploited Children and provides research, training, and technical assistance to prosecutors, law enforcement, and child protective services personnel. In addition, the Criminal Division and the FBI also dedicate significant resources to this problem, including forensic expertise, violent crime analysis, behavioral science profiling, trial preparation, and prosecutorial strategies. But as the gentleman points out, additional training is still necessary to ensure that State and local law enforcement authorities have the ability to respond to this problem using the Federal and national resources available to them.”
