Q: Group would track down missing children/persons, as well as local criminals from various counties in connection with local crimes. Help to minimize crime as needed. Just wondered if there is anyone out there that would be interested in starting a group to do the above, that is tired of seeing the things mentioned above happen and want to do something about it.
A: If you're looking for support, you might try to see if you can get an endorsement from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. It sounds like you have a similar mission, but would like to limit this to the local area. http://www.missingkids.com/ You could also work with the local police department, as you will need to get some support from local law enforcement as well. You might also want to consider getting funding from grants, and if you are forming a non-profit agency, you could work with our local volunteer center to help you with staffing with volunteers to build capacity: http://www.volunteersandiego.org Good luck!
