Who must place a locate on the entry, if a person or property is recovered by another agency?

The agency recovering the person or property holds the responsibility for placing a locate on the entry. This requirement ensures that those who have actually located and recovered the individual or item can officially document this action in the system. By doing so, they are informing all relevant agencies that the subject record has been altered due to the recovery, thereby coordinating communication and preventing any potential misunderstandings or duplicate efforts in the investigative process.

In this context, the agency that enters the record is not responsible for making changes after another agency has conducted a recovery. Similarly, a supervisory federal agency or the local police department may have their own roles, but the obligation to update the system about the recovered individual or property specifically lies with the agency that executed the recovery. Thus, placing the locate in the system reflects the latest status and is vital for maintaining up-to-date information within the IDACS framework.
