The Beaufort City Police Department is involved with the LOCATER system

LOCATER, Lost Child Alert Technology Resource, is a cutting-edge web-based program that enables law-enforcement agencies to rapidly distribute critical images and information about missing-child cases.

Using a secure LOCATER web site, law-enforcement agencies can easily create their own missing person posters and instantly transmit them electronically to other agencies, the media, and the public via the Internet. Both sending and receiving agencies can print high quality posters for distribution at roll calls, at incident command posts, and to the community.

The LOCATER program is provided to law-enforcement agencies free-of-charge. This includes a security certificate to access a protected web site and help desk technical support.

Other posters titles are also available such as missing adults, wanted persons, crime alerts and reward posters. For more information, visit the LOCATER web site.
