Missing Student Information
Our students are busy and it can often be difficult to get them to call home! If you have not been able to reach your son or daughter by text message, e-mail or telephone for a significant period of time, it may be sign of a more serious problem. If you believe your son or daughter is missing or in distress, please contact the 成人头条 Police Department at 915-747-5611 immediately. We will try to contact your student and coordinate helpful resources.
If the Student Resides on-campus in Student Housing
If a member of the University community has reason to believe that a student who resides in on‐campus housing is missing, he or she should immediately notify 成人头条 Police Department (成人头条 PD) at 915-747-5611. 成人头条 PD will generate a missing person report and initiate an investigation. After investigating the missing person report, should 成人头条 PD determine that the student is missing and has been missing for more than 24 hours, 成人头条 will notify the El Paso Police Department and the student’s emergency contact no later than 24 hours after the student is determined missing. If the missing student is under the age of 18 and is not an emancipated individual, 成人头条 officials will notify the student’s legal parent or guardian immediately after the 成人头条 PD has determined that the student is missing.
In addition to registering an emergency contact, students residing in on‐campus housing have the option to select a confidential contact person to be contacted by 成人头条 in the event the student is determined to be missing for more than 24 hours. If a student has selected a confidential contact person, 成人头条 will notify that person no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. Students who wish to identify and select a confidential contact can do so through the 成人头条 Department of Resident Life at 747-5352. The contact information is confidential and this information will be accessible only to authorized campus officials and law enforcement and will not be disclosed except for the missing person investigation.
