Missing Person
A missing person is defined as a Cornell Tech community member who cannot be contacted or located, or a visitor last seen on campus which cannot be contacted or located. There is no minimum amount of time that a person must be missing before a report can be made. Safety & Security will work closely with the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department and the NYPD to locate a missing person.
