Endangered Person Advisory
The Endangered Person Advisory is a voluntary partnership between law enforcement and local broadcasters to rapidly disseminate information about a missing and endangered person to law enforcement agencies, broadcasters, and the public. The advisory is initiated solely by Missouri law enforcement agencies.
Law enforcement agencies should complete the Endangered Person Advisory form (SHP-716) and follow the instructions provided on the form.
The form opens on mshp.dps.missouri.gov in a new tab. The brochure is a page on this site.
