• Search teams will be formed and trained by the Sheriff’s Department to participate with them in Amber Alert situations, which will result in the volunteers’ increased knowledge about crime prevention and assistance.
  
  
• A telephone system has been put into place that will alert GASP volunteers to report to the Sheriff’s command center. The volunteers will be organized in zones where the situation is happening. GASP members will comb neighborhoods and gather leads for law enforcement.
  
  
• All volunteers will participate on committees that would increase their knowledge and result in more children (and families) being aware of the use of the internet by sex predators. They will also be trained to assist with internet predator investigations.
  
  
• GASP volunteers are fingerprinting children at community events for identification purposes. We will be trained to do IRIS scans. These are known to be even more effective than fingerprinting.
  
  
• GASP will have a speaker's bureau to educate the community about inappropriate behavior (including that of family members and friends) as well as dangerous situations to avoid.
  
  

The Summit County Sheriff’s Department is working very closely with GASP and is evaluating and monitoring our progress. They have offered many suggestions to further the scope of operation. Because of their help, we are growing into areas of responsibility that we had not originally envisioned. They have provided free training to our team.

Our intention is to have the Summit County operation up and running in a very professional manner before we move on to new territory. We expect this program to be a national non-profit service to better all communities.
