  4. THE NAMEC STORY NAMEC officially became a California non-profit charity corporation in May 2017. The inspiration for the formation stated in 2015 in Oceanside, California with Saved in America (SIA). SIA is a non-profit comprised of volunteer ex-Navy SEALS, retired special operations agents and law enforcement officers. All members are licensed private investigators who track and rescue at-risk runaways. One of SIA’s many rescues was a 15 year old female from California who was tracked to Jacksonville, Florida. With the assistance from members of Florida Association of Licensed Investigators (FALI), the team rescued the girl and the criminals were incarcerated. This was the catalyst for the creation of NAMEC as a national organization to assist Missing & Exploited Children and their Families.
