Currently, according to immigration statistics, we live in the era of 2,110,610 foreigners as of August 31, 2020. Unlike in the past, the appearance of our society has changed greatly as we live and work with foreigners. If you take the subway, you can meet foreigners in any car, and even in rural areas, you can sometimes see a new foreign house holding a hoe and hanging a field. About 394,879 illegal aliens were not registered in the Ministry of Justice's statistics. The Immigration Office, August 30, 2020, Statistics Monthly on Foreign Policy for Immigration and Immigration. In the case of these illegal aliens, they are in a blind spot in criminal safety, and in the event of a missing or accidental death, they are converted into a long-term unsolved case due to difficulties in identifying their identities. Foreigners live together in our society, but there are currently serious problems such as various criminal cases against foreigners, accurate crime statistics on missing cases, crime prevention measures, and lack of data sharing among departments and agencies. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a nationwide network for the discovery of foreign missing persons, establish and operate a missing law and system to establish a rapid reporting and discovery system.
