 The missing person has the right to privacy. They have the right not to be found. Just because someone is reported missing does not mean that law enforcement will then tell the reporting person where they've been found. The person who's making the report, the one who is concerned about them, also has the right to know that that person is okay. So the way that we balance that is whatever law enforcement officer contacts a missing person or someone who's been reported missing, and that person is 18 or over, meaning they're a missing adult as opposed to a runaway or a missing child, then that officer will check their welfare and then ask their permission to give their location information to the reporting person. If the missing person declines permission, says, you know what, I don't want that person who reported me missing to know where I am. They have that right as well, so that's where it stops. That's important because there are situations of domestic violence or stalking situations, and people have the right not to be found, adults specifically.
