Open source information from the internet can be potentially invaluable in situations such as missing persons.
After conversations with family and associates, the MISPER's social media profiles have been identified.
Instead of using a search engine to search for text, you and search for images.
You can search by full or partial image.
Understanding which policing power you are using is key to maintaining the integrity of an investigation.
CCTV can provide invaluable footage of the movements of individuals. Modern CCTV systems come in many types and from many providers, including video doorbells, miniature wireless indoor and outdoor cameras as well as traditional commercial setups.
Can CCTV enquiries shed light on a MISPER's movements?
