in the law enforcement field.
This page replaces Crimes Scenes in
our restructuring.
While we continue to work in
cooperation with the Law Enforcement

Missing child? There's an app for that!
(from http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/august/child_080511/child_080511)
You're shopping at the mall with your children when one of them
suddenly disappears. A quick search of the nearby area is unsuccessful.
What do you do?
Now there's a free new tool from the FBI that can help. Our just
launched Child ID app—the first mobile application created by the FBI—
provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and vital
information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you
need it. You can show the pictures and provide physical identifiers such
as height and weight to security or police officers on the spot. Using a
special tab on the app, you can also quickly and easily e-mail the
information to authorities with a few clicks.
The app also includes tips on keeping children safe as well as specific
guidance on what to do in those first few crucial hours after a child goes
missing.
We encourage you to share the word about this app with family and
friends, especially during upcoming activities in your communities to
raise awareness on crime and drug prevention. For its part, the FBI is
working to publicize the app with the American Football Coaches
Association (AFCA)—its long-time partner in the National Child
Identification Program, which provides a physical kit to gather your child’
s pictures, fingerprints, personal characteristics, and even DNA to keep
with you in case of emergency. The AFCA is producing a public service
announcement about the app and will spread the word at various football
games during the upcoming season.

Right now, the Child ID app is only available for use on iPhones and can only be downloaded for free from the
App Store on iTunes, but we plan to expand this tool to other types of mobile devices in the near future. And we’
ll be adding new features—including the ability to upload other photos stored on your smart phone—in the
coming weeks and months.

"Speak Up New Mexico" program to combat school violence
Attention Students, Educators and Parents:
As many of you know, school violence is on the rise in America, it takes place in large cities as well as rural
schools nationwide. This is a major concern to everyone. These acts of violence must be stopped in the early
stages to prevent injury or even death to students and staff.
A recent study by the US Secret Service found that in 81% of school shootings the attackers tell other students
about their plans beforehand.
Because some students do not feel comfortable reporting this information to school officials, parents or the local
police this critical information that could save many lives, goes unspoken.
As of November 18th, 2008, The New Mexico Department of Education has launched an organization titled,
“Speak Up New Mexico”. This is a 24 hour hotline which is attended by professional crisis counselors.
Once a call is received, a detailed report on the incident is documented and in turn reported to appropriate law
enforcement officials as well as the affected school. This information will be provided via phone and/or faxed.
I urge anyone that has any information on school violence to contact this hotline, school officials, or a law
enforcement agency as soon as possible.
This hotline is primarily for acts of school violence, a weapon on campus, bomb threats, or threatening behavior
or comments.
Keep in mind that any criminal activity information is valuable to the Artesia Police Dept. and this information is
always welcomed.
