Effective July 1, 2009 the CT Department of Public Safety’s Missing Child Information Clearinghouse is to collect, process, maintain, and disseminate information to assist in locating missing persons who are (1) seniors age 65 and older or (2) mentally impaired adults at least 18 years old. The missing person’s relative, legal or health care representative, or nursing home administrator must file a DPS missing person report. Local police departments that receive a report of a missing senior or mentally impaired adult are to immediately accept the report and notify all on-duty police officers and other appropriate law enforcement agencies.
