Missing People Euregion Meuse-Rhine
In Europe the border
always is nearby
37.5 % of European citizens live in border areas. With the Missing People Euregion Meuse-Rhine project, which ran from September 2014 until December 2020, AMBER Alert Europe aimed to connect EU citizens across borders in the search for missing people.
The project was launched by AMBER Alert Europe in close cooperation with the Euregion Meuse-Rhine and the Province of Limburg (Netherlands). The project was established to develop border protocols to ensure that when someone goes missing in a Euregion, police, media and citizens in this area are immediately informed and on the lookout. The principal goal of the project was to bring endangered missing persons home safely by quickly sharing a missing person’s appeal with the press and public in the entire Euregion, even across national borders.
This is how we make an impact

Taking and sharing naked pictures of yourself can have serious consequences. We have created a campaign to make teenagers aware of the risks involved in sexting.
Missing Persons Risk Triage
Risk triage is a crucial part of the search for missing children.
Prevention
Being informed is a critical first step to prevent children from going missing.
