Locate International is a registered charity providing the most significant entirely voluntary effort in the UK to support police and families in the long term missing and unidentified person investigations at no cost to them.We need experienced database engineers and administrators to help turn our ambitious and ground-breaking data analysis project into action for over 5,000 families.
This could be part of a company team-building exercise, a short term commitment or interest in a longer-term voluntary effort.
This is a unique opportunity to implement a unique solution to help thousands of families.
In Canada, Dr Sasha Reid and a team of six undergraduate and graduate students compiled a serial killer database and another on missing persons and unsolved homicides. The team gathered the data through public records and media reports. It was by connecting the dots between these databases that they were able to identify patterns and develop a profile of a serial killer in Toronto.
Thomas Hargrove is a homicide archivist. For many years he has been collecting municipal records of murders, and he now has the largest catalogue of killings in the country—751,785 murders carried out since 1976, which is roughly twenty-seven thousand more than appear in F.B.I. files at that time. Thomas was one of the founders of The Murder Accountability Project, which is a highly interdisciplinary team that collate murder data. They apply advanced analytics and build algorithms to map and connect cases to help solve murders.
We have adapted the best of these ideas and created ‘Active Search’. We combine the two databases developed by Dr Reid and our teams are already starting to connect the dots, between missing persons, unidentified bodies, unsolved murders, and serial killers. We have adapted the approach of The Murder Accountability Project and work with leading universities to develop new analytical programmes and algorithms to help solve missing person cases. We bring open source specialists together with cold case investigators.
We want Active Search to be at the forefront of our work bringing academics and practitioners together to apply their knowledge in a way that helps communities and is fully actionable in the real world.
