Missing and runaway person search through information sharing across government agencies in South Korea: A case of interagency collaboration

Introduction: Part A Eugene Kim, chief of the Department of Living Safety at the Korean National Policy Agency (KNPA), was stressed out due to the high volume of missing and runaway persons, even though the Agency operated numerous prevention and search programs. He thought that it was time to start thinking outside the box because the existing agency’s capabilities and resources may not be enough to resolve this problem. What further actions could the Department take to move this problem forward? Getting relevant information about missing and runaway persons from other central government agencies seemed to be a timely, feasible alternative. The KNPA already used additional information that was obtained from other agencies (e.g. the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and the Korea Coast Guard), but those data were limited to identifying the whereabouts of missing persons.
