Code ADAM

Step 6: Code Adam Canceled

  • Management must report the incident to loss prevention, even if the child was temporarily wandering the store.

  • After the child has been found, management must announce “Code Adam Canceled.”

  • That will notify employees that the child has been located.

Step 5: Stranger

  • If the child is found accompanied by someone other than the parent.

  • Contact the police and attempt to identify the person with the child.

  • Use reasonable efforts to delay the departure of the adult.

** NOTE: Do Not Place Yourself, Staff, or anyone else around you at risk. **

History

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was founded by John Walsh, Ernie Allen, and Ronald Reagan.

Step 4: If the child is found and

appears to be unharmed,

reunite the child with the parent.

Step 3: Call 911

  • If the child is not found within 10 minutes, contact the police immediately.

  • Authorities would rather receive a second call, stating the child has been found, rather than an initial call after it’s to late.

Why is Adam Walsh important?

Step 1:

Obtain a detailed description of the missing child.

  • Name, age, height, weight, hair, and eye color.
  • Child’s clothing with shoe style and clothing.

** NOTE: THE CHILDS CLOTHES MAY BE CHANGED, BUT AN ABDUCTOR USUALLY DOESN’T CHANGE OR REMOVE THE SHOES. **

Step 2: Announce “Code Adam”

  • Immediately after “Code Adam” is initiated, all employees should begin searching for the missing child.

  • Employees should seek help from customers with children resembling the description of the missing child.

  • Employees should ask the child’s name, if the adult is the parent, ensure the child’s safety.

Bill Burns, a district manager at Wal-Mart in Crawford, Indiana developed the 6-steps which is named Adam, after the son of John Walsh.
