Operation Lookout® is guided by Fundamental Principals set forth by its Founders and Board of Directors, and is dedicated to locating MISSING, ABDUCTED, and RUNAWAY children, and reuniting them with their family or legal guardian at no cost.

Fundamental Principals

In its national and international capacity, Operation Lookout® offers services and assistance without discrimination to race, nationality, gender, religious beliefs or economic class.

Operation Lookout® is committed to locating missing children who disappear prior to their eighteenth birthday through active casework investigation, 24/7 Helpline assistance, EZ Form Registration On-line, and to assist law enforcement agencies and prevent child abduction through education and public awareness.

Regardless of the duration of the search process for a missing child, Operation Lookout® is dedicated to providing practical help, technical support, and advocacy to the victim families or legal guardians of missing children, through the support of generous contributions of concerned citizens and businesses. Since 1984, Operation Lookout's resolve has been to remain involved through the duration of a case until the child is recovered and will not close a case until authorized by law enforcement or the searching family.
