163 children found. 163 opportunities for hope.

A recent statewide missing child operation led by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement resulted in 163 children being located across Florida, including 32 children recovered through the work of our Northeast Florida INTERCEPT Task Force team.

Behind every number is a child who now has an opportunity to receive support, resources, and a path forward.

We’re incredibly grateful for every participating agency, investigator, analyst, and partner who worked together to make this operation possible, and especially proud of our Northeast Florida INTERCEPT Task Force team and the role they played in locating 32 of these children.

To every Operation Light Shine donor, partner, and supporter who helps provide these teams with the technology, resources, and support they need, you are part of this work too. Together, we keep showing up for the next child.
