The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) in partnership with National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains (NCMPUR) are hosting the CACP National Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains Investigators Symposium in an effort to bring together missing persons investigators and subject matter specialists from across the country to collaborate, enhance investigative skills, and share best practices.
