The Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau has arrangements with several television studios to release pictures of missing children when requested by this Department. Check with Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau for current procedure; however, this service is entirely dependent upon the studio's available air time. There is no charge for this service, but investigating detectives must use discretion and not abuse this privilege. Signed consent of the parents or guardian is not required, but is desirable.
A clear photograph, preferably a full face, with the date the photograph was taken, will be provided by the investigating detective to the Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau. This Bureau will arrange for duplication of the photograph and distribution to the television stations.
