The California Highway Patrol (CHP) – Emergency Notification and Tactical Alert Center (ENTAC) is the designated state coordinator for missing person alerts throughout California. ENTAC is staffed 24 hours a day by uniformed CHP personnel and is located at the CHP Headquarters in Sacramento, CA. The CHP is responsible for the activation of all alerts on behalf of investigating agencies in California’s municipalities, counties, and tribal communities. The investigating agency contacts the CHP and the details concerning the incident and the activation criteria are reviewed together. Investigating agencies are encouraged to contact the State Coordinator to receive free California POST certified training regarding all missing person alerts and available tools and resources.
