Tenn. Code Ann. § 37-10-205

The Tennessee bureau of investigation shall specify a uniform form for the missing child report and data, so that the same may be transmitted by computer or mail. The bureau shall also establish, maintain and manage a file of “missing children” and collect any available relevant data concerning the missing child and disseminate the same by computer, mail or any other reliable communication device to any law enforcement agency. The bureau shall publish a monthly report of all missing children and recovery of children and distribute the same to all full-time law enforcement agencies in the state, the general assembly and executive branches of government, to the news media, and to every director of schools in the state, who shall then distribute the report to the principal of every school within such director's school system. Whenever possible, this report shall contain the photographs of the missing children. The bureau is authorized to transmit information on missing children to the federal bureau of investigation or any other state maintaining missing children files and may conform its reports to any federal agency reports so as to facilitate the automated exchange of information.
