Search & Locating Services
» What to do if your child is missing
We assist legal parents or guardians in locating children who have been the victim of stranger or parental abduction, or who have run away. This service is provided by competent, trained personnel whose networking extends to the international borders of the world. This service operates 365 days a year through the use of a 24 hour emergency answering service for the reporting of missing children or to make a sighting report. All calls are confidential.
Working in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, Child Find Saskatchewan establishes a case file with all pertinent information on a missing child. We produce special "Missing" bulletins which are distributed publicly through the assistance of volunteers and to relevant agencies, provincial Child Find offices, and border crossings via national and international networking procedures. This networking of information and case administration continues until the case is concluded.
All About Me ID Program
A comprehensive personal identification booklet prepared by Child Find for your child. The booklet provides:
» Spaces for entries to be made for names, addresses, and phone numbers for family and professional health care services.» A picture page with notations for date, height, and weight.
» A medical data page with notations for medical information.
» A tip page on how you can street proof your child and cautions to parents.
How do I get a free "All About Me ID" booklet?:
Call us at 1-800-513-FIND(3463) outside Saskatoon or 955-0070 in Saskatoon for up coming ID clinics in your area. Parents require two pieces of ID, and the children require one piece of ID. Suggestions are a Saskatchewan health card or Birth Certificate.
This program consists of computerized identification of children, youth, and adults, with the information and photo put on a wallet size CD. This offers consistency in fingerprints as they are taken with a thermal fingerprint reader, and allows for emailing information to police departments if a child goes missing. We are also promoting this program to people over the age of 18 for a nominal fee.

We promote community education and awareness, and cyber tip information.
Some of our pamphlets are;

Child Find does not receive government funding. We depend almost entirely on the benevolence of others in the manner of corporate and private donations in kind. Child Find has historically relied on two major fund-raising projects, namely our annual Green Ribbon of Hope campaign run in May and the Green Ribbon Dinner. We also engage in other fund-raising activities if they are deemed to be in good taste and hold a good chance of success.
You can make a donation by calling 1-800-513-3463. We accept Visa, Master Card and American Express.Volunteer Information

Saskatchewan AMBER Alert Plan
AMBER Alert system is a voluntary partnership between police agencies and broadcasters to send out an emergency alert to the public when a child or vulnerable adult has been abducted and is believed to be in imminent danger
The AMBER Alert provides the public with immediate and up-to-date information about the abduction via widespread media broadcasts and solicits the public's help in the swift and safe return of the abducted person.
When an AMBER Alert is sent out, radio and television stations immediately interrupt programming to broadcast information about the abduction, the abductor and the abductee.
