On 01/03/2015 at approximately 5:00 P.M. members of the Middleton Police Department sought the public's help in locating a missing runaway 17 year old Juvenile who had been missing for 10 days. The request was broadcast through the Police Department's social media programs as well as the Middleton Police Mobile App.
Police agencies from as far as Boston and Methuen Ma shared our request for help on their social media sites. Our press partners published stories in their publications. A Geo-Fenced message was set up on the Middleton Police Mobile App so any person entering downtown Farmington, where the juvenile was believed to be staying, would see an alert with the juveniles picture.
During the course of the evening thousands of our users shared our request.
Tips came in through out the evening and at 11:30 p.m., just 6.5 hours after we made our request, the juveniles whereabouts was confirmed.
Police from Middleton, Farmington and New Durham responded to a residence on Main Street in Farmington and took the juvenile into custody.
The Middleton Police would like to thank our community partners, press and cooperating law enforcement officials who assisted us in this matter. We appreciate your support and cooperation. Once again our social media program proves that a connected community is a safer community.
