To whom it may concern:
Greetings;

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Denver Division, supports the objectives of the Colorado Missing Children Task Force/Vector Foundation and it is our intent, through our Community Outreach Specialist, to remain an active member supporting the future efforts of this project.

The FBI Community Outreach Program (COP) mission is to provide the comprehensive programs that deal with the multiple interrelated societal problems, including drugs, gangs, crime and violence prevention in support of the investigative mission of the FBI. The COP places a special emphasis on youth. We consider prevention an integral part of the law enforcement function and believe education is a vital component of that effort. Our mission allows us to join existing nonprofit organizations to work toward a safer community for all citizens, especially our youth. The Colorado Missing Children Task Force/Vector Foundation is just one example of positive preventive measures of which we are proud to be a part.

As a new member of the project, we have been active in providing educational information and programs to the community. The COP has provided thousands of families/parents with fingerprints of their children at no cost along with a wealth of safety and preventive material. Only by working together has this team been able to reach so many.

Sincerely,

Mark J. Mershon
Special Agent in Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation
