Systems Analyst

The mission of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is to “promote public safety

and strengthen domestic security by providing services in partnership with local, state, and federal

criminal justice agencies to prevent, investigate, and solve crime while protecting Florida’s citizens

and visitors.” In 1982, the Florida Legislature appropriated funds for the establishment of the first

state Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse (MEPIC) in the nation. The current

system has added functionality over the years as required by legislation and to assist the FDLE

members who use the system to issue alerts and streamline processes for faster communication

about a missing person.

The MEPIC system needs to be replaced with a database re-design and programming in newer

technology with web screens that adhere to the current business needs rather than being

constrained by the foundation of a 1983 system design. Newer technology in a re-designed

MEPIC system can better assist in the recovery of missing persons.
