The UK Police National Missing Persons Bureau (PNMPB) is the centre for the exchange of information connected with the search for missing persons both nationally and internationally. The Bureau focuses on cross matching missing persons with unidentified persons.

Madeleine McCann is a three year old British girl who was abducted whilst on holiday in Portugal on Thursday night (3.5.07). She is currently featured on the UK Missingkids website where further information and an appeal poster are available.

Residents of Portugal can assist by visiting the website and distributing posters of Madeline in their local area. Anybody with information should call Leicestershire Constabulary on 0116 222 2222 or Portugese police on 00 351 282 405 400.

Child Rescue Alert was launched nationally in 2006, as a ground-breaking initiative to save abducted children from being murdered.

The scheme works by interrupting television and radio programmes with immediate news flashes that a youngster has been snatched and is at risk of serious harm or death.

By joining with the media, police forces are able to spread the message to a vast cross-section of the public within moments, asking them to keep their eyes and ears open and to call 999 if they have crucial information.
