By the beginning of next year, the Federal Police (PF) intends to deliver an online database to unify information and make it easier to search for missing persons inside or outside the country.
"We are working on a system that will be automatic. So, we will receive this information and the response will be much faster," said agent Luan Vitor Miranda da Costa, deputy head of the Federal Police's Service for Combating Serious Human Rights Violations.
In 2023, the Federal Police launched a project to tackle missing persons cases and human exploitation. Called Lumini, the project has already analyzed more than 10,000 cases, achieving more than 72% resolutions on disappearances and 89% identification of corpses in the data through September of this year.

In an interview with Agência Brasil, during the Rec'n'Play innovation and technology festival, which runs through this Saturday (14) in Recife, the Federal Police agent said that this new database will greatly facilitate the work of searching for missing persons, whether in Brazil or abroad.
"For example, when an email arrives from the Civil Police saying that someone is missing, we will enter [that information] into the program and we will be able to search all systems at once, instead of having to access each one individually," he explained.
Currently, Lumini works with data provided by the civil police, state Identification Institutes, Legal Medical Institutes, and forensic technical-scientific police from across the country on cases that remain unsolved. Through its systems and its international partners, the Federal Police is able to help in searches for missing persons.
"It is important to make it clear that we do not interfere in the investigation, we do not take on the responsibility ourselves. We respect the constitutional mandates of the institutes and the police, but knowing that we may be able to help with our systems, we make ourselves available and they send us what they have," said Costa.
According to him, through the Lumini Project, it is possible to give an answer to these people. "The Lumini Project, even though it is carried out by the Federal Police, is a response from the public machinery itself to society."
