TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING STATEWIDE CHILD ABDUCTION RESPONSE TEAMS.
House Bill 1887 amends Arkansas law to strengthen the framework for statewide child abduction response teams, aiming to improve efforts to rescue abducted or endangered children. It mandates collaboration among several state agencies, including the Office of the Attorney General and the Division of Arkansas State Police, to form and implement these multiagency teams. These agencies are required to execute a memorandum of understanding and coordinate their resources for responding to and preventing child abductions. The Division of Arkansas State Police is responsible for assembling the teams, while the Criminal Justice Institute coordinates their certification and recertification.
