Police to Seek Legal Basis for Tracking Adult Missing Persons and Push for Dedicated Unit

The Korean National Police Agency held a meeting today (September 4) to review innovative measures for missing persons investigations, deciding to pursue a legal basis enabling authorities to check and track location information and transportation card usage histories of missing adults, similar to the procedures already in place for missing children.

While also pushing to establish a dedicated organization to systematically manage and supervise missing person cases, the police plan to improve response protocols so that at least two officers respond together to missing person cases occurring at night or on weekends, and discuss staffing increases with relevant government ministries.
