The College Police Department complies with Public Law 108-21, Title II, Sec. 204 which is more commonly known as "Suzanne's Law". This law amends Section 3701(a) of the Crime Control Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 5779(a)) so that there is no waiting period before law enforcement agencies initiate an investigation of a missing person under the age of 21 and report the missing person to the National Crime Information Center of the Department of Justice.
