N.Y. Executive Law § 837-f-2: Missing adults

§ 837-f-2. Missing adults. In the event that a police agency receives

a report that an adult person is missing from his or her normal and

ordinary place of residence and whose whereabouts cannot be determined

by an individual whose relationship with such adult person would place

such individual in a position to have knowledge of his or her

whereabouts, and that such missing adult person has a proven disability,

or may be in physical danger, or is missing after a catastrophe, or may

have disappeared involuntarily, or is missing under circumstances where

there is a reasonable concern for his or her safety; and such missing

adult person does not qualify as either a missing child pursuant to

section eight hundred thirty-seven-e of this article or a vulnerable

adult pursuant to section eight hundred thirty-seven-f-1 of this

article, the police agency shall collect information necessary to file

an electronic report regarding the missing adult person with the

national crime information center register and submit such electronic

report to the national crime information center register.

The division shall transmit the report of the missing adult to the

National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) within thirty

days after entry of a report of a missing adult into the register

whenever circumstances indicate that the missing adult may be at

immediate risk of death or injury, or may be a match to a record

maintained in the NamUs unidentified person database and within one

hundred eighty days in any other case.
