The session was hosted by Arizona Attorney General's Office (AGO) Tribal Liaison Officer Rachel Hood in partnership with AATTAPโs AMBER Alert in Indian Country (AIIC) Project Coordinator Amy Hood-Schwindt.
The visit featured presentations by AGO Special Agent/NCJTC-AATTAP Associate Heidi Chance, who focused on such important topics as sex trafficking awareness and safeguarding children online. It also included a Child Abduction Tabletop Exercise (CATE) led by AIIC Associates Francis Bradley, Tony Rodarte, and Josh Keliikoaโan exercise designed to simulate real-world child abduction scenarios to engage in strategic planning and response efforts.
Event attendees included law enforcement officers from such agencies as the FBI, Yavapai Apache, Navajo and Hopi Nations, Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, and Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe. YAN Chief of Police Monte Reimer and his staff, along with community members, contributed to the eventโs success.

Each year on January 13th we commemorate National AMBER Alert Awareness Day to honor the memory of Amber Hagerman, who at 9 years old was abducted while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, and brutally murdered.
The mission and work of our AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Team endeavors to honor the legacy of Amber Hagerman, along with so many other families who have endured the nightmare of an endangered missing or abducted child.
Today and every day, we work tirelessly to provide training, resources, and collaborative learning opportunities to support law enforcement and other child protection professionals, along with the communities and families they serve, in doing everything possible to safely recovering missing and abducted children nationwide.
