College Alert Center™ Announces New Service
Child Alert Center establishes new division as a safety net for missing college students.
Jacksonville, FL, September 28, 2008 --(PR.com)-- College Alert Center is the newest division of the Child Alert Center,® founded in January 2005.
College Alert Center was established to fill an important need for the college student, a safety net if they should ever go missing. While many colleges have emergency notification systems in place, most do not have the ability to distribute a missing student's poster immediately with wide distribution to the appropriate sources. A student is able to enter a buddy list of up to five people, with their contact information, when registering who will be notified in the event the student is reported missing.
On Aug 14, 2008, President Bush signed into law, H.R. 4137, the "Higher Education Opportunity Act," which reauthorizes and makes changes to higher education programs; and requires institution of higher education (IHEs) to:
(1) Include on registration or enrollment forms an item allowing students to identify an individual they wish the school to contact if the student is reported missing;
(2) Establish protocols requiring that missing person reports regarding students be referred to the school's police or campus security department; and
(3) If the student has been missing for over twenty-four hours, contact the individual identified by the student or the parent of the student if the student is under age eighteen.
Mark Arnold, CEO of College Alert Center, stated "We will assist the (IHE) by ensuring a missing student poster is created and distributed immediately, regardless of the student’s age, to the school's police or campus security department”. Upon registration or enrollment with the college, students can provide a contact and create a buddy list of people to be notified if they are reported missing. The contact individuals identified by the student or the parent of the student if the student is under age eighteen will not have to wait for the student to be missing for over twenty-four hours.”
