About Us

Our Programs & Services



Investigation Unit
Professionals on the Frontline


MCSC’s team of former police detectives and trained investigators work closely with law enforcement while conducting frontline, hands-on investigation and search activities.  This active methodology is the foundation of MCSC and distinguishes us from other organizations with similar mandates.  All services are provided free of charge.


We support the ongoing search by:


    Travelling nationally and internationally to conduct front-line investigations.


    Operating a 24 hour toll-free tip line for the public to provide confidential information leading to the location of a missing child.


    Maintaining an online directory of our active missing children cases.


    Alerting the media and other contacts across the country of our investigation updates through our Child Search Alerts.


    Producing and distributing missing child posters locally or nation-wide.


    Securing rewards for information leading to the location of a missing child.


    Working with our partner Search & Rescue organizations and dog teams to quickly coordinate and fund ground searches.


For details on our full range Investigative services, please refer to our Scope of Services.




Family & Peer Support Program
Caring for Searching Families


Our commitment to our searching families extends to offering emotional supports throughout their search or during the reunification process.  We provide ongoing emotional support, and can help our searching families identify counseling and practical supports in their local area. 




Education & Awareness Program
Connecting with the Community


As a leading expert in the search for missing children in Canada and around the world, MCSC strives to inform and support the wider community.
