DETROIT — State police, in conjunction with law agencies statewide, are on May 7 hosting “Missing in Michigan,” an event to raise “public awareness on the causes and impacts surrounding missing persons” and to allow attendees to interact with police and provide tips related to missing friends or family members.

The free event takes place from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Ford Field in Detroit and family members are encouraged to bring “photographs, dental records, medical records or other identifying information of their loved one.”

The Masons of Michigan are providing free ID kits for children and the event is scheduled to conclude with a candlelight vigil for missing persons across the state who have not been located.
