AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts law to require the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to develop a comprehensive guide on the state's policy and procedures for investigating cases of missing and abducted children. The bill mandates that law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts reference and implement the standards outlined in this guide, which will be based on recommendations from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The bill also requires the Municipal Police Training Committee to provide in-service training on the new policy for veteran officers and include the training in the police academy curriculum for new recruits. Additionally, the bill directs the Executive Office to ensure that the state's missing child clearinghouse intake form is available in multiple languages.
