About the 2023 Symposium

The 2023 National AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program and AMBER Alert in Indian Country Symposium—the first in-person event in two years—drew hundreds of law enforcement and child protection professionals to Tucson, Arizona, April 19-20, 2023. The event was held at Casino Del Sol, owned and operated by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. Participants chose amongst a broad array of sessions, including case studies involving endangered missing and abducted children, best practices for AMBER Alert and Endangered Missing Alert activations, Child Abduction Response Team (CART) readiness and certification, essential and emerging technologies and tools, cultural sensitivities important for work in Indian Country, regional trends and training/technology issues, and the need for more and better wellness care for those whose work involves all the above.
