Updated 18 Oct 1994. The information on this page will be updated frequently. Please check back often.

The Foundation has assisted in searches for more than one hundred and thirty missing and abducted children. Foundation volunteers have designed, printed and assisted in the distribution of flyers for thirty five of these search efforts. All but four have been returned safely.

LEGISLATION

The Foundation has lobbied for the passage of state and federal legislation, specifically the state "Polly Klaas Memorial Habitual Offenders Bill" that will strengthen sentencing requirements for serious and violent felons; other legislation will give public the access to information on convicted sex felons via a 900-number telephone line and broaden access and use of a statewide databased to track felons. President Clinton referred to the Polly Klaas search in his "State of the Union" address to lobby for "3 Strikes and You're Out" - type legislation.

EDUCATION

The Foundation is preparing to introduce a child safety education program called "Kids and Company", produced by the Adam Walsh Foundation, throughout local school systems. Foundation volunteers and staff also have appeared at numerous community and civic events to assist in distributing child safety education information.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Search protocols by the Petaluma police and San Francisco FBI have been adjusted since the search for Polly Klaas. The present search for Katie Romanek is the most recent example. In addition, forensic artist Jeannie Boylan of Bend, OR., who assisted in the Polly Klaas search, has been used to help law enforcement in other cases.

OCTOBER 1993 - DECEMBER 1993

The Foundation brought worldwide attention to Petaluma during its efforts to find 12-year-old Polly Klaas. More than 4,000 people volunteered during the search, contributing nearly $500,000. Richard Allen Davis, arrested and charged in Polly's kidnapping, is awaiting trial in Sonoma County.
