License Plates of North America
http://www.15q.net/index.html
This website is unique and a valuable
investigative tool. The author, a license plate collector, has classified and
scanned photographs of all North American (United States, Canada
and Mexico) license plates. Moreover, he has classified them in a number of easy to use databases.
The next time you are investigating a crime and a witness gives you a partial plate, or describes a plate from another state,
you can use this website to further your investigations.

Based on an article in our last
newsletter feedback was received from a colleague in the United Kingdom. He
made us aware that the UK Police National Missing Persons Bureau (PNMPB) is the
centre for the exchange of information connected with the search for missing
persons both nationally and internationally. The Bureau focuses on cross
matching missing persons with unidentified persons. On their website the center
has published a downloadable PDF version of Guidance on the management,
Recording and Investigation of Missing Persons.
Although the document was drafted in order to develop
national standards in the UK, many of the investigative and supervisory
techniques are directly applicable to US investigations. Some of the issues
covered in the guide are:
First officer to attend
Responsibilities of first officer attending report of a
missing person
Risk assessment
Classification of risk and response
Decision making guide
Review of risk
Missing persons process chart
Investigative issues to consider
Search and evidence gathering

What do to if your Child is Missing provides parents with the most current information on, and
helpful insights into, what families should do when a child is missing. The first edition of this Guide was written in 1998
by parents and family members who have experienced the disappearance of a child. It contains their combined advice concerning
what to expect when a child is missing, what needs to be done, and where to go for help. It explains the role that various
agencies and organizations play in the search for a missing child and discusses some of the important issues that need to
be considered. The Guide is divided into seven chapters, each of which is structured to allow information to be found quickly
and easily. Each chapter explains both the short- and long-term issues and contains a checklist and chapter summary for later
reference. A list of recommended readings and a list of public and private resources appear at the back of the Guide. This
third edition of the Guide was published in 2004.
It includes a section recommending actions when hiring a private investigator.
