The subtitle of “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” refers to a division of the Philadelphia Police where Nikki (Dania Ramirez) heads up an elite force of officers, well-trained in the art and science of tracking down victims of abduction and kidnapping. It’s a subject near to Nikki’s heart; six years ago, as explained in the first episode’s prologue, her son Keith was abducted at age 11, and never found. This tragedy contributed to the gradual disintegration of her marriage to Jason (Scott Caan), who was working overseas as a military contractor when his son was taken, and harbors guilt over not being there when it happened.
