Background
The mission of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is to "promote public safety and strengthen domestic security by providing services in partnership with local, state, and federal criminal justice agencies to prevent, investigate, and solve crime while protecting Florida's citizens and visitors. In 1982, the Florida Legislature appropriated funds for the establishment of the first state Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse (MEPIC) in the nation. The current system has added functionality over the years as required by legislation and to assist the FDLE members who use the system to issue alerts and streamline processes for faster communication about a missing person.

The MEPIC system needs to be replaced with a database re-design and programming in newer technology with web screens that adhere to the current business needs rather than being constrained by the foundation of a 1983 system design. Newer technology in a re-designed MEPIC system can better assist in the recovery of missing persons.
