United States. NCIC data. Many are reported multiple times; the number of individual children is lower, but the urgency is the same.
Of children reported to NCMEC as missing, 1 in 6 are likely victims of child sex trafficking.
The law enforcement database that powers both RTIS and RVIS. Law enforcement-sourced. Complete chain of custody.
Missing Children and Trafficking Recovery
RVIS searches for missing children, trafficking victims, Silver Alert elders, and other law enforcement-designated endangered persons on every scan, at every gate, at every event. It works with the most recent verified photograph. No age progression needed. Every potential match is verified by a human analyst at the Rapid Action Center (RAC) before any notification is sent.
Who RVIS Searches For
RVIS searches for specific populations of missing and endangered persons using verified records submitted by law enforcement agencies and organizations like NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) and ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force). Every record in the RVIS search database has a verified law enforcement source. RVIS does not search social media, crowd-sourced reports, or unverified tip submissions.
Missing Children
Children listed as missing in NCIC, NCMEC, and state registries. RVIS works with the child's most recent verified photograph. No age progression is required, eliminating a common source of identification error. Includes abducted children, endangered runaways, and children missing under circumstances suggesting involuntary disappearance.
Trafficking Victims
Individuals flagged by law enforcement as suspected trafficking victims. When RVIS generates a confirmed match, notification follows recovery-focused protocols. The goal is safe intervention and connection to victim services, not arrest or confrontation. Law enforcement and designated venue contacts are notified through the RAC.
Silver Alert Elders
Individuals subject to Silver Alert designations, typically older adults with cognitive impairments (Alzheimer's, dementia) who have wandered from care. RVIS can identify these individuals if they enter a venue, enabling safe recovery and return to caregivers.
Other Endangered Persons
Additional law enforcement-designated missing or endangered persons who do not fall into the categories above. This includes individuals missing under suspicious circumstances, persons subject to welfare checks, and other LE-designated categories.
Verified Registries, Verified Sources
RVIS does not scrape the internet for photographs. It does not use social media images. It does not accept crowd-sourced tips. Every photograph in the RVIS search database comes from a verified law enforcement source with documented chain of custody. The primary registries include:
| Registry | Full Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NCMEC | National Center for Missing and Exploited Children | The primary U.S. clearinghouse for missing child reports. Operates the CyberTipline and maintains verified photographs of missing children. |
| ICAC | Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force | A national network of 61 coordinated task forces representing over 5,400 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies engaged in investigations of child exploitation. |
| NCIC | National Crime Information Center | The FBI-operated database of criminal justice information. Contains missing person records submitted by law enforcement agencies nationwide. |
| State Registries | State Missing Person Clearinghouses | Individual state-level missing person databases maintained by state law enforcement agencies. |
A major NFL stadium with 8 home games and 70,000+ capacity scans over 3 million faces per season across regular season, preseason, and special events. Each scan is a RVIS check.
RVIS operates whenever RTIS sensors are active. For venues that host concerts, conventions, festivals, and other non-sport events throughout the year, the scan volume and recovery opportunity extend well beyond the primary sports season.
Venue staff do not manage RVIS. They do not monitor RVIS results. They do not interact with RVIS unless a confirmed match generates a notification through the RAC. RVIS runs silently, continuously, and automatically.
Built for the Hardest Privacy Questions
Community relations leaders and government officials will face questions about surveillance, privacy, and civil liberties. Safience was designed to answer those questions before they are asked:
-
Zero biometric retention.
Non-match images are discarded immediately. No facial recognition template database is created at the venue.
-
Neck-up, face-only capture.
No body imaging. No behavioral analysis. No gait detection.
-
No video recording.
A single still image per detect. No continuous surveillance feed.
-
Human verification on every match.
The Rapid Action Center (RAC) reviews every potential match before any notification is sent. No automated actions.
-
Verified sources only.
RVIS searches against law enforcement-submitted records from established registries. No scraped data, no social media images, no crowd-sourced reports.
