Everbridge, Inc. (EVBG) – Get Report, the global leader in critical event management (CEM), today announced its global platform and mass notification solutions helped law enforcement locate a missing 15-year-old in New Jersey as the company marks six years of partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The autistic teen left his home late at night prompting family to contact local police. Authorities deployed officers to the area and launched an Everbridge alert to residents in the region. An observant citizen who received the alert spotted the teenager and called authorities, reuniting the teen with his family.

"This is a great example of first responders and the community coming together to keep our people safe, especially our most vulnerable," said Jay Jones, System Administrator at the Gloucester County Department of Emergency Response. "Departments these days are challenged by shrinking budgets but growing expectations. To build safer neighborhoods, we turn more and more to technology to increase our reach and engage our community. Technology like Everbridge saves crucial time and money and gets results."
The New Jersey success story follows that of a 12-year-old girl who was reported missing in Indiana last month. Police sent an Everbridge notification to the community and the girl was safely located.
"We're finding more children today than ever before in our nation's history. One key factor is better communication and improved information sharing, thanks to technology provided to us by organizations like Everbridge," said John Bischoff, Vice President of the Missing Children Division at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. "This type of assistance plays a key role, alerting us quickly so we can collaborate in the search for missing children and bring them home safely."
The ongoing partnership between Everbridge and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) began in 2014. In the ensuing six years, the joint collaboration resulted in bringing hundreds of cases to the organization's attention. As part of the partnership, NCMEC monitors Everbridge's vast network of local law enforcement alerts for cases involving missing or exploited children. When a relevant match materializes, NCMEC reaches out to law enforcement to offer its vast resources and support, including distributing posters, searching databases, and deploying Team Adam, a unit of prior law enforcement professionals who respond to the scene to assist local search teams. In the past two years, Everbridge delivered nearly 1,000 alerts to NCMEC regarding missing children nationwide.
"As a mission-driven company, Everbridge exists to keep people safe…that stands as our core objective," said Tracy Reinhold, Everbridge Chief Security Officer and former head of the FBI's Intelligence Division. "Any time we can help agencies work together to protect our communities we consider that a win. We are proud to continue our work with first responders and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to help safeguard our most valuable asset – our children."
Everbridge supports first responders in over 3,700 municipalities and counties within 49 of the 50 United States, including the entire states of California, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Connecticut, and Florida, as well as within all of Canada's provinces and throughout Europe and Asia.
