NCIC provides federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies with computer access to documented information that is stored in 12 files. The files include such categories as wanted persons, missing persons, stolen vehicles, and unidentified persons. Specifically, the authors agreed to provide you with information on (1) what mechanisms are being used to report data on missing children to NCIC, (2) which categories of missing children are listed in the system's data base, and (3) which states are reporting data on missing children to NCIC.
