The Toronto Police Service (TPS) recognizes Missing Person Awareness Day on February 3rd, an annual observance established in 2024 to raise awareness of the processes used in missing person investigations, promote transparency, and reaffirm the Service’s commitment to prioritizing these cases with appropriate resources. This year, TPS also aims to share information on how community members can become involved and engaged.

When a loved one is missing, the grief can feel isolating and unresolved. This peer support group provides a caring environment for those navigating ambiguous loss, connection, and understanding.

Each year, May 25 is commemorated as International Missing Children's Day.

This date was first proclaimed in 1983 by United States President Ronald Reagan as "National Missing Children's Day", following the 1979 disappearance of six-year-old, Etan Patz.

On May 25, 2001, International Missing Children's Day was formally recognized with the forget-me-not flower as its emblem.

In 1996, nine-year-old Amber Hagerman was kidnapped from Arlington, Texas and brutally murdered. Her death had a profound impact on her community. In the wake of this tragedy, an emergency alert system was developed to facilitate the rapid distribution of information to the public in the event of a child abduction.
The AMBER Alert system was created in memory of Amber, using her namesake as an acronym. AMBER stands for America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response.
The Government of Ontario adopted the AMBER Alert system in 2003, in collaboration with Ontario law enforcement and radio/television stations. In particular, participating ministries are the Ministry of the Solicitor General and the Ministry of Transportation.
