Program Coordinator

Derek VanLuchene brings a unique perspective to the issues of sex offender management and child abduction. In 1987, his eight‐year‐old brother Ryan was abducted from the family’s backyard in rural Montana and murdered by a repeat sex offender. Since that time, Derek has devoted himself to issues of sensible sex offender management as well as child abduction response. Derek currently serves as the National Child Abduction Response Team (CART) Program Coordinator for AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program and the National Criminal Justice Training Center (NCJTC). He oversees the training and technical assistance and certifications for CART Teams nationwide. Previous to his current position, Derek spent twenty years as a Montana law enforcement officer.
