 In 2017, for the Denver Police Department, there were approximately 2,500 reports of missing people. The first step in a missing person's investigation is that they get reported to a law enforcement officer as missing. That officer will immediately enter their information onto NCIC, which is the National Crime Information Computer. And that will make their information available nationwide to all law enforcement. Next, the missing person's report will then come to a missing person's detective. Once a missing person's detective receives a case, then they will conduct a more detailed and depth thorough investigation, which can include checking more extensive databases, going and gathering video evidence from where someone went missing, interviewing possible witnesses, also digging into the circumstances surrounding the person going missing, why they went missing, are there any motives for any kind of criminal activity? Every case is different, so we as detectives would then follow up on each set of leads as they present themselves.
