Existing law requires the Attorney General to establish and maintain the Violent Crime Information Center to assist in the identification and the apprehension of persons responsible for specific violent crimes and for the disappearance and exploitation of persons, particularly children and at-risk adults.
Existing law requires that specific entities report to the Attorney General when a missing person has been found. Existing law then requires the Attorney General report to the National Crime Information Center that the person has been found. Existing law also indicates what information should be included in the report, the timing of the report, and how specifying conditions may affect the contents and timing of a report to the center.
This bill would make a technical and nonsubstantive change to these provisions.
(a)When a person reported missing has been found, the sheriff, chief of police, coroner or medical examiner, or the law enforcement agency locating the missing person shall immediately report that information to the Attorney Generals office. The Attorney Generals office shall then notify the National Crime Information Center that the missing person has been found.
(b)When a missing person is found, the report indicating that the person is found shall be made not later than 24 hours after the person is found to the law enforcement agency that made the initial missing person report.
(c)In the event that a missing person is found alive or dead in less than 24 hours and the local police or sheriffs department has reason to believe that the person had been abducted, the department shall submit a report to the center in a format established by the Attorney General. In the event that a missing person has been found before he or she has they have been reported missing to the center, the information related to the incident shall be submitted to the center.
(d)A law enforcement agency shall not establish or maintain any policy that requires the removal of a missing person entry from the center database or the National Crime Information Center database based solely on the age of the missing person.
