There are several processes throughout NCMEC that enable the company to do the important work they do. In order to explain these processes, workflow infographics were created to make this visually easy to follow and accessible for everyone.

CyberTipline Workflow
NCMEC’s CyberTipline is the nation’s centralized reporting system for the online exploitation of children. This infographic explains the steps taken when a tip is submitted. NCMEC staff review each tip and work to find a potential location for the incident reported so that it may be made available to the appropriate law enforcement agency for possible investigation.
AMBER Alert Workflow
AMBER Alerts are activated in the most serious child-abduction cases. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the community to assist in the search for and safe recovery of a missing child. An update was needed to the flowchart that conveys what happens when law enforcement issues an AMBER Alert.
