The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is encouraging the public to download its TBI Find app as a way to stay informed about missing persons cases across the state.<\/p>\n
The TBI mobile app was developed in 2022 and so far this year, the agency 49 silver alerts across 21 counties in Tennessee. <\/p>\n
The app currently provides real-time Silver Alerts for missing senior citizens, along with case information and photos that can be shared directly with the public.<\/p>\n
TBI officials say public awareness can play a critical role in investigations, especially when information is shared quickly. The app allows users to view missing persons profiles, receive alerts and submit tips to investigators.<\/p>\n
I can’t express enough how important the public’s help is when we having a missing person in Tennessee, that’s how we find them, said TBI Assistant Special Agent of Criminal Intelligence Unit, Shelly Smitherman.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, the TBI hopes to expand the app’s capabilities to include Amber Alerts and other alert notifications, giving the public additional ways to stay informed and assist with investigations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is encouraging the public to download its TBI Find app as a way…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":715228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":["post-715227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
