Our Growth Plan

Night Owl Reconnaissance is continually evolving to meet the growing complexity of missing person investigations. Our long-term vision focuses on expanding expertise, advancing technology, and strengthening collaboration to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and impact of our work. Each step in our growth supports a single goal: to enhance our ability to locate the missing and provide meaningful insights to those seeking answers.

Expanding Our Team

Night Owl Reconnaissance is committed to expanding our team to better address the full range of challenges involved in missing person investigations. Our long-term growth includes developing specialized groups focused on cold cases, enhancing geospatial analysis capabilities, and broadening our understanding of human behavior within investigative contexts. We also aim to recruit language-enabled researchers and human trafficking specialists to strengthen our ability to work across diverse regions and communities.

Increasing Our Technology

We are advancing our technological capacity to support a deeper level of analysis and accuracy in our investigations. Our priorities include expanding access to trainable artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, enabling advanced social listening and web monitoring, and integrating platforms that provide an analytical edge in identifying and understanding missing person patterns. We are also exploring technologies that support forensic and digital evidence review, including data correlation, biometrics, and DNA-related support.

Building Partnerships

To achieve these goals, we seek partnerships with organizations that share our commitment to locating the missing and supporting those affected. This includes collaboration at the grassroots level, within the broader missing persons community, and through strategic relationships with corporate and research partners. By combining expertise and resources, we can generate greater impact and innovation across our investigations.

Supporting Stakeholders

Our focus extends beyond the missing person to those left behind. We aim to assist families, communities, and other stakeholders by improving access to information, increasing case visibility, and offering data-driven insights that help clarify what is known and what remains uncertain.

Community Engagement and Awareness

We plan to increase public awareness through modular, deployable events and educational presentations designed to strengthen community understanding of missing person issues. By engaging through outreach, speaking opportunities, and shared resources, we aim to build a more informed public that recognizes both the scale of the issue and the importance of proactive, data-based response.
