MMIPS Canada
How MMIPS Canada works
MMIPS Canada keeps private review information separate from approved public awareness. A reviewed case does not become public automatically, and a public profile does not automatically receive a map point.
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
Contact the police service of jurisdiction as soon as you are concerned for a person's safety. There is no 24-hour waiting period to report someone missing.
1. Information is received privately
When Canadian intake is authorized to open, submissions will enter the separate Canadian review system. The public will not see raw submissions.
2. Review permission and safety
Reviewers check what can be shared, the appropriate police or official contact, safe location wording, Indigenous affiliation publication permission, and whether photos are authorized.
3. Release the public profile separately
A profile needs review approval, a publication date, and the explicit Canadian public-profile release gate. A suppression request can remove it from public view without erasing the audit history.
4. Release the map point separately
A Canadian public map point requires its own map-release gate plus a moderator-approved approximate location. Exact private coordinates are not used for public map display.
First Nations, Inuit and Métis information
MMIPS Canada does not treat First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples as one interchangeable category. Public affiliation details are shown only when the specific affiliation record is approved for publication, and community-preferred names are used when available.
Corrections, consent and privacy
The Canadian data model supports correction, withdrawal-of-consent, suppression, access, and deletion or de-identification review workflows. Public release should always be reversible when safety, consent, accuracy, or privacy requires review.

What MMIPS Canada does not do
MMIPS Canada is not police, an emergency service, an investigative tip line, or a replacement for an official missing-person report. The RCMP National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains supports national coordination and investigations but does not replace the police service of jurisdiction.
