14-02 - Missing Person Report

Over the past several years, Federal and State regulations which require law enforcement to obtain certain information when taking a missing person report has changed.  California State Assembly Bill 33 created Penal Code Section 13519.07(d) which directs law enforcement to have a missing person report that meets or exceeds the information in the State’s missing person report.  To keep up with these changes, the Department is now going to use the State of California Department of Justice Missing Person’s Report (CJIS 8568 Rev. 01/2012) as the official missing person report.

This new form is available in Outlook/All Forms/Patrol/Missing Person or may be ordered through Central Supply and Warehouse.  The new form has the same form number as the old form (SH-R-12).

All old, unused Department missing person reports should be recycled.
