The Missing Person Information Clearinghouse was established July 1, 1985, within the Department of Public Safety providing a program for compiling, coordinating and disseminating information in relation to missing persons and unidentified body/persons. Housed within the Division of Criminal Investigation, the Clearinghouse assists in helping to locate missing persons through public awareness and cooperation, and in educating law enforcement officers and the general public about missing person issues.
If you are a family member of a missing person and would like to submit a photo for inclusion on the clearinghouse website, please email the photo as an attachment to: mpicinfo@dps.state.ia.us.
