Come Friday, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation will have the ability to send a Missing Indigenous Person Alert when an Indigenous person is reported missing in the state.
The Missing Indigenous Person Alert is part of Senate Bill 22-150, which required that the Colorado Department of Public Safety create the Office of Liaison for Missing or Murdered Indigenous Relatives. The office hired its first director, Arron Julian, in late November.
“The CBI understands the importance and effectiveness of the various alerts that are in place in Colorado, and we are pleased to have been asked to develop this newest alert in an effort to quickly locate missing Indigenous persons and return them safely to their loved ones,” said CBI Director John Camper.
In order for CBI to issue a MIPA, the missing person must have an active entry in the Colorado Crime Information Center or National Crime Information Center, the person must be Indigenous, the alert must come from a law enforcement agency, and there must be enough information available to believe an alert will help locate the person.
