For the past 36 years, the Department of Justice has observed National Missing Children's Day by hosting an awards ceremony to pay tribute to the courageous and compassionate individuals who have made extraordinary efforts to protect children and bring predators to justice. Due to COVID-19, we are unable to hold a ceremony this year. This site serves as a virtual commemoration of the 2020 Missing Children's Day observance.
Learn about the 2020 awardees, the poster contest and winner, and read the OJP Blog commemorating Missing Children’s Day. Also access publications and other resources.
