To qualify, a missing adult must have a cognitive impairment, such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease; the disappearance must pose a credible threat to the person’s safety; and the person must be entered into the National Crime Information Center. Maryland State Police set those criteria and say only law enforcement can request an alert. The state also says there is no waiting period to report someone missing.
