Maine public missing persons website
The law requires the Maine Bureau of State Police to run a public website listing every open missing person case. It must be live by December 31, 2026. Each post shows a photo, basic details, how the person went missing, and the last known location. The site is maintained with other law enforcement and is updated at least monthly. The bureau also convenes a working group to improve investigations and review the Silver Alert program, with a report due December 3, 2025. The state provides one-time tech funding in FY 2025-26: $4,139 from the General Fund and $2,229 from the Highway Fund.
