Johnston and Polk County Missing

The Iowa Department of Public Safety keeps a database of missing persons throughout Iowa, children and adults alike, going back to 1973. The website is updated four times each day.

The database lists includes 10 people -- ranging from age 5 to 16 -- as missing from Polk County.

While the Johnston Police Department hasn't reported missing children, they do respond to a number of calls of runaways from Youth Homes of Mid-America, a center for trouble teens in the city.

The Iowa Missing Person Hotline is available seven days a week to request assistance locating a missing person and report information on the sighting/location of a missing person.

The 24-hour, toll-free hotline is 800-346-5507.
