Everything you need to know about Alert: Missing Person's Unit, ahead of the show's premiere
What to expect?
The Fox police procedural, Alert: Missing Person's Unit, centers around police officer Nikki Batista, who works in the Missing Person's Unit of the Philadelphia Police Department. While contending with her everyday work, Batista must also deal with tragedy in her own life. Her own son went missing six years ago and has still not been found.
Batista is the head of the police department’s Missing Person’s Unit and while she helps others find their loved ones who went missing, she also searches for her boy. Burdened with the grief of losing her own son, Nikki empathizes with the people who report their loved ones as missing and does her best to look for the missing people in the hope that one day she too will be reunited with her son.
Things take a turn when, one day, Nikki's ex-husband Jason Grant shows up with a proof-of-life photo of their son. This gives her some hope, now that a break has been made in the case. But the question remains, is that person really Nikki's son or is it just someone claiming to be so?
