ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), today announced it has received $130,000 as part of the Motorola Solutions Foundation's Public Safety and Security Institute. The Motorola Solutions Foundation is

enforcement that will enhance the
investigative response to cases of missing or sexually exploited children.

The Motorola Solutions Foundation's Public Safety Grants aim to support safety education
and training programs for first responders, their families and the general public in the United States and Canada.

"The courses we offer give law enforcement access to strategies and tools that can help
make their jobs easier and their communities safer," said John Ryan, NCMEC CEO. "We are
grateful to the Motorola Solutions Foundation for helping us continue to provide this important service."

The training is offered through NCMEC's Jimmy Ryce Law Enforcement Training Center,
which was named in memory of 9-year-old Jimmy Ryce, who was abducted and murdered near his Florida home in 1995. Courses are
offered regionally, across the country, and at NCMEC headquarters in Alexandria, Va.
NCMEC trainings annually bring together more than 400 law enforcement agencies from
across the United States.

"Motorola Solutions is dedicated to helping people be their best in the moments that matter," said Matt Blakely, director of the
Motorola Solutions Foundation."Motorola Solutions Foundation aligns itself with this mission by supporting programs like the
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children that train people how to respond to potential safety problems or recover from the
loss of a first responder. We are proud to see these valuable programs make a positive
impact in the communities where we live and work."
