Our Success

The Association for the Recovery of Children (ARC), headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, is a highly esteemed nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue of missing, exploited, abducted, and trafficked American children. Established in 1993, ARC boasts an unparalleled 100% success rate in their child recovery missions. Comprised of a team of former and active intelligence officers, military special operators, and law enforcement professionals, ARC operates as one of the longest-standing child rescue organizations in the United States.

ARC’s comprehensive child recovery program, offered at no cost to custodial parents, is grounded in a team of experts with diverse backgrounds, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), military special forces, supervisory law enforcement, Fortune 100 corporate security, and government protective services. These professionals enable ARC to excel in a range of missions, including child sex trafficking cases, non-custodial parental abductions, exploitation, abuse, and missing or kidnapped children.

The organization’s services span several key areas of expertise, from domestic and international child rescues to child trafficking rescues. ARC’s adeptness extends to sophisticated security programs, crisis management, protective services, strategic target analysis, discrete investigation, research services, and more. Their innovative approach, guided by legal and ethical principles, is designed to identify perpetrators, and their whereabouts, and ultimately ensure the safe recovery of victims.

ARC’s commitment to adhering to US state and federal laws, as well as collaborating with various government programs and agencies, ensures their operations remain ethical and effective. The organization’s emphasis on using technology for good is evident in its tracking of child trafficking through social media and technology, leveraging these tools to locate missing children and apprehend predators.

A significant accomplishment for ARC is the conceptualization and definition of “institutional child exploitation” (ICE), solidifying its position as a leader among non-governmental organizations (NGOs) dealing with this issue in the United States. With a clandestine component bolstered by intelligence sources, ARC conducts operations to facilitate the recovery of missing, abducted, trafficked and exploited American children across domestic and international contexts.

Backed by a network of experienced affiliates and operators worldwide, ARC is well-equipped to locate and recover children regardless of their location. Through their unwavering dedication and multi-faceted expertise, ARC stands as a beacon of hope, ensuring the safety and restoration of vulnerable children and redefining the landscape of child rescue and protection.
