NAMUS - Training Academy - St. Louis 2010

The first-ever training academy for NAMUS (National Missing and Unidentified Persons System) was held in St. Louis, Missouri from July 19 through July 21, 2010. Ten states, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin, sent representatives from law enforcement, medical examiner/coroner's offices, state missing persons' clearinghouses, forensic specialists and victim advocates. Each 5 member team spent 3 days in training - with the goal being to spread the word about NAMUS and train others to use the user-friendly, web-based system.
