The 2024 Florida Missing Children's Day ceremony was held on Monday, September 9, 2024 at the Tallahassee Automobile Museum. The annual event is held to remember Florida’s missing children, recognize the state’s efforts in child protection and educate Floridians on child safety and abduction prevention.
​
During a formal ceremony, Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Commissioner Glass recognized citizens, canine trailing teams and law enforcement officers for their exemplary efforts in investigations protecting children.

​

FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass said, “Today, as we commemorate Florida’s lost daughters and sons and pay tribute to the families who live with unthinkable agony, we also reaffirm our commitment that we will not ever stop searching for these precious missing children and we will never stop searching for justice.”
​​

Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “As a mother, I cannot imagine the terror a parent feels when their child goes missing. Florida law enforcement works around the clock to find those who are lost, and on Missing Children’s Day, we stand in support of those who wear the badge and are diligently pursuing these cases. We must continue to pray that these children are reunited with their families and returned home safely.”
