Find Them DM

When someone goes missing in Dominica, the alert spreads through Facebook and WhatsApp. That reach is valuable, but posts are hard to find a day later, details change between copies, and nobody can tell whether a forwarded alert is still current.

The goal was a single trusted place: easy to search on any phone, built to be shared, clear about who has been found, and run by a small team who must be confident nothing goes public by mistake.

Behind the public site is a portal where staff create and manage cases. Nothing reaches the public without a second pair of eyes: cases move from draft to review to approval to publication, and the person who submits a case can't approve it.

Staff have roles (case managers, publishers and auditors). Sign-in uses two-factor authentication, and an audit trail records every change, by whom and why. Edits to live cases wait for approval, uploaded photos have their location data stripped, and private notes never appear publicly.

Everything an agency would want to change (name, logo, colours, police contact) is a setting, so the platform can be adopted by an official body without rewriting code. A separate demo mode with fictional records lets prospective partners try the whole workflow safely.
