Resources for Families

Families should not have to fight the algorithm alone. Organization, consistency, and source-connected sharing can help keep information clearer.

Share the flyer. Check the source. Avoid rumors.

Keep information organized

  • Keep a timeline of important dates and updates
  • Keep one folder of approved photos and details
  • Track source links and public agency updates
  • Save case numbers and agency contact information

Ask what can be shared

Ask law enforcement what details can be shared publicly and what should stay private. Public awareness is important, but some details may need to be protected.

Use consistent flyer information

When possible, use the same verified photo, spelling, date, location, source link, and agency contact information across public posts.

Ask communities to share responsibly

Encourage people to share the flyer, check the source, avoid rumors, and send possible tips directly to the listed agency.

Request corrections when details change

If CaseTrace information needs review, support, correction, or removal, use the support and correction request options so changes can be reviewed.
