NCIC Statistics provided by the FBI-NCIC for media relations -- United States & Canada
These numbers fluctuate for many different reasons:
  • Due to newly entered cases
  • Due to removal of resolved cases
  • Older cases that are added to the NCIC years after the actual event initially took place
  • Routine purging of expired cases
A spike/drop in numbers does not necessarily mean there is an actual increase or decrease in missing and unidentified persons, it can mean that more cases are being entered into or removed from the system.

That being said, there are many cases that are not yet listed with the NCIC. Some experts feel that these are only 10-50% of the actual numbers as not all cases are/were reported to the NCIC by law enforcement. Michigan DOEs hopes to encourage more agencies to take full advantage of this available resource -- for new cases and as a retroactive approach for cold cases as well.

For the families of missing persons, it is imperative that you properly report and request that your loved-one's case is listed in the NCIC. The law enforcement agency in charge is the only entity that can submit the case to the NCIC.

Additional information can be found on the FBI website.
