MMIR Task Force of Colorado is a volunteer run grassroots organization that provides leadership, policy development, training, data compilation, advocacy and support related to the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous relatives in the state of Colorado.
The Dashboard numbers do not match the cases that the Task Force is tracking as we do not have the same limitations of a state agency, yet we still regularly provide CBI with updated data.
To date the MIPA is the 2nd most utilized alert in the state of Colorado.
When a MIPA is issued, most Relatives are located within 1 week.
Currently only CO, WA & CA utilize a MIPA system.
To sign up to receive the Missing Indigenous Person Alert (MIPA) email dps_cbi_missing@state.co.us
The resource hotline that our Task Force pushed hard for & was established by SB 23-054, is now staffed by the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. The team is trained to receive and refer calls from the public. This is a dedicated phone line for MMIR families.
