The Wilmington Police Department requests the assistance of the public to help locate individuals who are the subject of an active Gold Alert.

For each Gold Alert issued by our department, we issue a public release through Nixle and on our social media platforms. We also issue subsequent public releases and social media posts when a subject is located, or if we obtain additional information that can assist in locating the missing person.
