Direct answer
Police departments can use CaseTrace as a public-facing awareness tool for missing-person cases. CaseTrace can support shareable flyer pages, QR-linked posters, source-connected case information, status updates, correction review, and responsible public sharing instructions.
Public flyer pages
A CaseTrace flyer page can give the public one clean place to view public case information, source labels, and responsible sharing options.
QR-linked posters
QR-linked posters can direct the public to a source-connected flyer page that is easier to share and update than a single image circulating online.
Agency-friendly poster builder
CaseTrace includes poster-building tools intended to let agencies use their own format, branding, contact instructions, and optional CaseTrace links.
Correction and update review
CaseTrace can support correction, removal, and update review so public pages can be adjusted when better source information becomes available.
Source-connected public information
CaseTrace is designed to support source-connected awareness, not to replace official agency records or investigative systems.

- Law enforcement systems
- NCIC
- NamUs
- NCMEC
- FBI systems
- Official alerting systems
Agency conversations
CaseTrace can support feedback, pilot conversations, and responsible public awareness discussions with agencies and public safety partners.
