At any given time, there are over 100,000 missing and unidentified persons in the United States. Just as technical, societal and cultural changes have caused law enforcement to evolve, law enforcement response to missing and unidentified persons must also change. One such response is the Justice Department’s National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs).
Although NamUs provides free DNA, odontology, anthropology, fingerprint, analytical services, and a searchable on-line database of missing and unidentified persons, many agencies are still unaware of NamUs’ existence and how to best utilize these resources.
This presentation will introduce NamUs and how to utilize the free resources available at NamUs.
