Missing Persons Reports in CDE CAD

CDE CAD includes a dedicated Missing Persons report type in the law enforcement reports category. Officers document missing person cases with structured fields for identification, last known details, and search coordination. Unlike a general incident report, the Missing Persons template is purpose-built to capture every piece of information that matters when someone is unaccounted for - from physical description and last known location to medical conditions and circumstances of disappearance. Every field is designed to support both the investigation and the search operation, ensuring that the officers in the field have the information they need and the case file is complete from day one.

Missing Person Report Fields

When an officer begins a Missing Persons report and enters the individual's name, CDE CAD automatically pulls physical characteristics from the civilian profile if one exists. This saves time and reduces errors - officers do not need to manually transcribe height, weight, hair color, or date of birth. The profile data populates the report fields instantly, allowing the officer to focus on the details unique to the disappearance.

BOLO Integration

Missing persons cases can be linked to BOLO alerts for maximum visibility across all active units. The BOLO system transforms a static missing person report into an active, system-wide alert that works passively in the background. Here is how the integration works:

Search Coordination Through Dispatch

Dispatch plays a central role in coordinating missing person searches. CDE CAD gives dispatchers the tools to organize multi-unit search operations, track resources in real-time, and coordinate across agencies. Here is the dispatch workflow for a missing person case:

Case Documentation Chain

A missing persons investigation generates multiple reports and documents over its lifetime. CDE CAD links all of these together into a single, chronological case file. From the initial report to final resolution, every piece of documentation is connected and accessible. Here is the typical chain:
