How the Sheriff's Office Spreads the Word on Missing Residents
A non-emergency line, 727-847-8102, option 7, was listed for information about Malone's whereabouts.
The office has also said its Aviation Unit and Drone Team provide aerial support during searches for missing people, per the sheriff's office. Officials add that residents do not need to wait 24 hours before reporting someone missing, a point the agency has emphasized in explaining its broader approach to these cases.
The Pasco Sheriff's Office, based in west central Florida, posts updates through its official account under the username pascosheriff, though it has noted that the account is not monitored around the clock. For emergencies, the office directs residents to call 911, while non-urgent matters can still be routed through the same non-emergency number used in Malone's case.
