When placing a locate on a missing person record, which abbreviations are used in the disposition field?

The correct choice for the disposition field when placing a locate on a missing person record is "DETN; RELD."

In the context of the NCIC, the term "DETN" stands for "detained," indicating that the individual has been located but may be held for further questioning or verification. The term "RELD" stands for "released," which denotes that the individual, once found, has been formally released from any custody or concern regarding their status as a missing person. This combination of terms provides a clear indication of the status of the missing individual, reflecting both their location and the action taken after they were found.

Using these specific abbreviations ensures that law enforcement agencies can efficiently communicate the outcome of missing person reports and manage their databases accurately. Other options do not accurately reflect the standard abbreviations used for this specific process in NCIC records.
