Missing Persons
NCIC
In the event of a criminal kidnapping of a
juvenile by the noncustodial mother, it is
recommended that the mother's maiden name
be entered as a possible alias and the
following information be added to the MIS
Field:
CHILD IS MISSING UNDER SUSPICIOUS
CIRCUMSTANCES and/or CHILD IS BELIEVED
TO BE IN A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION
Missing Persons
NCIC
Aliases, nicknames (monikers),
vehicular data, dates of birth,
Social Security numbers, and
operator’s license numbers
should not be entered in the
MIS Field. All additional
searchable data should be
entered in a supplemental
record as this procedure
increases the chances of a
hit on the record.

If missing two or more missing persons are believed to
be together enter separately but cross reference in

required. Information in this field can include: exact
location of the DNA sample to lab, lab contact information
and type of DNA.
Missing Persons
NCIC
Other Key Fields – Person with Information
Optional Field
The purpose of the enhancement is to allow
information regarding a PWI in a missing person
case (child or adult) to be
appended to an existing
Missing Person File
record in a manner that is
searchable so that the
record is returned
regardless of who (PWI or
missing person) is
inquired upon.
Missing Persons
NCIC
Optional Field = General
The PWI capability may only be used when the
following rules and conditions have been fully
and strictly met, particularly in cases where the
PWI is a parent, custodian, or legal guardian.
1. Person with Information data may be
appended to a Missing Person File (MPF)
record entered using MKE/EME or EMI.
Effective 10/3/2011
Missing Persons
NCIC
Optional Field - General
2. Only the agency that entered the missing
person record may append PWI data to that
record.
3. An MPF record may be appended with a
maximum of two PWI records.
4. PWI data will require review 72 hours following
entry and every 30 days thereafter
Effective 10/3/2011
Missing Persons
NCIC
Optional Field - Rules
1. When probable cause for arrest of the PWI
nominee exists, a warrant must be obtained,
entered into the Wanted Person File, and
linked to the associated MPF record.
2. When probable cause for arrest of the PWI
nominee exists, but a warrant cannot be
readily obtained because of circumstances
beyond the control of the investigating law
enforcement agency, a Temporary Want
should be entered into the Wanted Person File
and linked to the MPF record.
Effective 10/3/2011
Missing Persons
NCIC
Optional Field - Rules
3. If there is an active record in an unrelated
matter in any person file for the PWI nominee,
the record should be linked to the associated
MPF record.
4. When neither 1, 2, nor 3 is possible, the PWI
capability may be used only when all of the
conditions outlined below exist simultaneously.
Effective 10/3/2011
Missing Persons
NCIC
Optional Field - Conditions
Facts and circumstances indicate that:
1. The missing person was last seen under
circumstances that pose a risk to the safety of
that person.
2. There is a “substantial likelihood” that the PWI
has relevant information about the missing
person that could result in the recovery of the
missing person.
Effective 10/3/2011
Missing Persons
NCIC
3. Entering identifying information concerning
the PWI into the MPF record could assist the
appropriate law enforcement agency to
identify and interview the PWI, and that the
resulting information could assist in the
recovery of the missing person.
4. The PWI cannot be located and time is of the
essence.
Effective 10/3/2011
Missing Persons
NCIC
5. There is no prohibition under the investigating
agency’s state law on the publication of
information concerning the identity of a
person for whom a warrant has not been
obtained.

the general public through an Amber Alert or
other formal notification.

An agency is required to verify and update NCIC 2000
missing person record entries with any additional
information, including: Blood Type (BLT); Dental
Characteristics (DCH); Fingerprint Classification
(FPC); Jewelry Type (JWT); and Scars, Marks, Tattoos,
and Other Characteristics (SMT) within 60 days of entry.
If a record has a date of entry older than 30 days and
any of the above fields are blank, a $.K. administrative
message identifying the blank fields will be transmitted.

In May 2008, an Unidentified Person File

enforcement in Chattanooga, TN. The
person had been missing for ten years.
