AMBER Ready Foundation Donates Equipment to Help Law Enforcement Find Missing
Children

ROCKAWAY, N.J., June 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As part of its 30-city
nationwide amber ready child safety tour, the AMBER Ready Foundation is
donating printers to local police departments so they can quickly print
missing child posters from police patrol cars to assist in the search for
children reported missing.

The AMBER Ready Foundation, whose mission is to support charitable programs to
aid in the recovery of missing children and child abduction prevention,
recently donated printers to the Freeport, NY Police Department, the New York
Chapter of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives
(NOBLE), the Norwood, MA police department, State Police Association of MA,
the Stewartstown, PA police department, and the Occoquan, MD police
department.

"Our goal," said Kai Patterson, CEO of AMBER Ready, "is to support parents and
law enforcement agencies help search for and locate missing children."

"When we deliver these printers to law enforcement, the responses are
terrific," Patterson continued. "Michael E. Woodward, Chief of Police in
Freeport, NY and George W. Cunningham, Chief of Police in Stewartstown, PA,
for example, both told us how grateful they were to receive these printers,
especially now at a time of tight local budgets."

Chief Woodward said, "We were very happy to receive the printer and look
forward to using it should the need occur. Hopefully, it never will."

"Small towns and communities," said Patterson, "are often the places where
child abductions occur. The police departments in these smaller towns don't
always have the equipment they need. That is one reason we are making these
donations."

"I am honored to be able to launch a program that provides this ever so needed
tool to law enforcement agencies throughout our country. I believe that
providing patrol cars with the ability to print missing child flyers will
eventually make a difference in saving some child's life. I have spent the
last 10 years of my life to committing myself to providing a program to aid in
the recovery of more missing children," said Patterson.

Today, the AMBER Ready Child Safety Tour will be in Atlanta. It will be in
Nashville on June 3, Philadelphia on June 8, and San Diego on June 9.
