What started out as looking into the Wisconsin Amber Alert criteria based on this story of a young girl reported missing and found. I instead uncovered this interesting tidbit.
“….The National Crime Information Center (NCIC), which is part of the Criminal Justice Information Services Division within the Federal Bureau of Investigation, provides every state with a monthly report detailing statistics regarding the number of missing children in the state that month. The numbers reflect the total active missing children cases reported to NCIC for that month….”
If this is in fact true, Why doesn’t each state make these statistics available monthly? Why doesn’t the NCMEC make them available to support their efforts? Why is most of the data available via the internet, from law enforcement agencies, several years old?
