Welcome to National PhotoAlert

What is the National Fraternal Order of Police, National PhotoAlert Network? 

The Fraternal Order of Police National PhotoAlert™ Network or PhotoAlert™ is a revolutionary identification and recovery service developed and powered by US ComCorp.  PhotoAlert digitally stores photographs and individual profile information for distribution if a person or child goes missing or is abducted.

PhotoAlert includes a digital photograph for immediate distribution to law enforcement and alert recipients. It has been proven that photos are a critical tool in the recovery of a child. In a survey conducted by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, law enforcement officials surveyed identified pictures as the single most important tool in the recovery of missing children.

PhotoAlert has the ability to send out thousands of alerts per minute to recipients in a geographic area. Our motto is, “Speed of Communication = Speed of Recovery”. It has been proven that the first three hours after a child has been abducted are the most critical. After the first three hours, the probability of recovering the abducted child safely drastically decreases (source:  U. S. Department of Justice). Other child recovery services require several steps be taken before an alert can be issued. The time lost locating a photograph or other media could be the difference between a successful recovery and tragedy.  We know that with the speed that PhotoAlert can communicate vital information, we will help law enforcement recover missing persons quickly as well as safely. 

PhotoAlert is a tool that can benefit people of all ages. With PhotoAlert, you can proactively store your family member’s information for immediate distribution should they ever go missing. For example, if you have an elderly parent or grandparent that has Alzheimer’s disease or any other cognitive impairment, you may upload their photograph and information in our database. If they should go missing, we can send an alert in your community that includes a description including a photograph to recipients in your area.

Development of the National PhotoAlert Network is currently in progress. We will not be issuing alerts nor accepting photographs until we have completed phase one of the NPA project. Phase one, the development of the Streetlynx Network, is expected to be completed by January, 2009.

We are currently accepting alert recipient registrations and StreetLynx registrations (law enforcement only).
