When any St. Bernard
Police officer is informed of a missing person report,
an immediate investigation will be conducted. The
report will be filed by the agency that has
jurisdiction of the person’s primary residence.
For example, if the person resides in another
jurisdiction, but was last seen in St. Bernard, the
report will be taken by the agency where the child or
person lives. If the person lives in St. Bernard, we
will take the report and begin an investigation.
This investigation will take priority over all other
activities. Information that you will need to collect
includes but is not limited to: Current photos,
physical and clothing descriptions, known
friends/associates, business information, special
groups contacts, fingerprints if available, medical
conditions, medications, frame of mind when last seen,
previous history of runaway information, last known
location, possible places/locations they could be
headed to or frequent, family information such as
favorite relatives they may have went to stay with,
family history (I.e. Divorced, Separated etc.), family
problems arguments, relatives information and contact
information, financial information (bank accounts
credit cards etc.), vehicle information etc.
When a
report is filed, the officer will make a missing
person entry in the National Crime Information Center
(NCIC). We will also assist you in any way, I.e.
developing posters, flyers and putting you in contact
with support groups. If the missing person is a
juvenile, we may also initiate the Hamilton County
Child Abduction Alert - Emergency Broadcast Plan. We will implement this plan if
after conducting our initial investigation of a
missing child that an abduction has in fact occurred.
In true child abductions, the first few hours after
the child has been abducted are the most critical.
Within minutes of abduction, the perpetrator and
victim can be in another state. Broadcast television
and radio present a timely and vast medium in which to
alert the citizens of our entire metropolitan area and
seek their help in quickly locating both the victim(s)
and the perpetrator(s).
When
a missing child has not been located within thirty
(30) days after the date which the missing person and
runaway case report was filed, the reporting officer
will request the missing child’s guardian or other
person responsible, to provide written consent for the
St. Bernard Police Department to contact the missing
child’s dentist and request the missing child’s
dental records. Upon receipt of such written consent,
the dentist will release a copy of the child’s
dental records and encode these in such form as
requested by the St. Bernard Police Department. Once
these records are obtained, the reporting officer will
add (modify) these records in to NCIC. NCIC will then
attempt a comparison with those identified deceased
persons file.
