Tennessee's TBI Find app now delivers real-time Silver Alerts for missing seniors and lets users submit tips directly to investigators.
49 Silver Alerts have been issued this year across 21 Tennessee counties, and the app also shares case details and photos that users can circulate quickly.
TBI says that rapid public awareness is critical in missing-person investigations, with officials urging residents to download the app to help locate people faster.
The app, launched in 2022, is slated for expansion to include Amber Alerts and other notifications, broadening its role in statewide investigations.
