Study Notes

Omaha Police Department Missing Person Procedures

  • Investigation Scope: OPD investigates missing persons aged 19 and older. Missing persons under 18 are handled under a separate policy.

  • Dispatch: Officers are dispatched to all missing person reports, regardless of age.

  • Timely Reporting (Suzanne's Law): Missing persons 20 and younger must be entered into NCIC/NCIS within two hours of the report.

  • Information Gathering: Officers collect crucial information for NCIC/NCIS including name, DOB, sex, race, height, and weight.

  • Missing Person Report (PortalOne/OPD Form 205): A report is completed for each missing person. Exceptions exist for missing adults leaving with their biological juvenile child.

  • Additional Information: Maiden names must be documented if applicable.

  • Automated Notifications: PortalOne automatically alerts relevant units (Data Review, Missing Persons, ASVU) upon submission.

  • Unusual Cases: Specific procedures are required for missing persons with mental health issues, suspected foul play, dementia, or requiring special care (Project Lifesaver participants require separate procedures).

  • Unusual Case Procedures: A radio broadcast, NCIC/NCIS entry, notification of Missing Persons Squad, and follow-up contact with the reporter are executed. An overnight report should be completed.

  • Return to Home: An officer receiving notification of a return completes a Missing Person Cancellation Form (OPD Form 208A) with details and sends copies to relevant entities and retains the original.

  • Location of Missing Person: Officers locate missing persons and advise them of the reporting party. The officer does not give the location or details of the missing persons' disappearance, unless extenuating circumstances exist (i.e., injury preventing communication, guardianship findings).

  • External Agency Locations: External agencies can contact NCIC. The NCIC operator provides details or directs contact to the Missing Persons Squad.

  • Follow-Up by Missing Persons Squad: The Missing Persons Squad completes the cancellation form, notifying relevant departments, and issues an email about the cancellation.

  • Non-self-sufficient missing person care: If a missing person cannot care for themselves, appropriate care or intervention is required (e.g., hospital, qualified person, Civil Protective Custody).
