Missing Student Notification (as listed on the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Police Department website)
Any individual who has reason to believe that a ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ student is missing (from campus or while away on a trip), they should immediately notify the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Police Department at 817-257-7777. In the event any University employee receives information regarding a missing student, the employee should immediately report the information to the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Police Department. The ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Police Department will general a missing person report and initiate an investigation.
In accordance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ has a procedure to investigate when a student is reported missing. The regulations recognize that for some students, contacting existing emergency contacts, parents, or both may be problematic. Therefore, students have the option to designate a Missing Student/Confidential Contact by completing and submitting this form electronically. This contact is separate from their normal emergency contact person. While these contacts can be designated as the same individual, the Missing Student/Confidential Contact information will only be accessed by the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Police Department. In some instances the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Police Department may, however, need to provide access to other University offices (e.g., offices of the Dean of Campus Life and Housing and Residence Life), to assist in an investigation.
No later than 24 hours after the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Police Department determines that a ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ student is missing, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Police will notify the designated Missing Student/Confidential Contact as part of their investigation procedures. If no Missing Student/Confidential Contact information is designated, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Police will utilize existing Emergency Contact and/or parent/legal guardian contact information.
If you under 18 years of age and not emancipated, your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) will be notified within 24 hours that you are deemed missing, even if they are not designated as the Missing Student/Confidential Contact(s) designated on this form. The University reserves the right to notify additional individuals, including the parent or guardian of students 18 years of age or over, if a student is determined to be missing.
