A Child Is Missing Alert Program
On October 15, 2012, at 6:00 PM the Polk County Sheriff's Office responded to a missing 10 year old female on West Ellendale, in Dallas. During this incident, A Child Is Missing Alert Program, was activated. This program can call thousands of people within minutes to help with a search. About 4 1/2 hours later the child was located in a nearby barn. The girl told deputies she had been walking around near a creek and in some timber. Once it started raining she went to a nearby barn to hide. Thank you all for helping with this effort.
