What occurs if a look-out requires continuation beyond 24 hours?

If a look-out requires continuation beyond 24 hours, a teletype request must be submitted to ensure that the look-out remains active. This process allows for proper documentation and formal approval for extending the duration of the look-out. It is essential to follow this procedure as it maintains accountability and ensures that all relevant personnel are informed of the extended look-out status.

In contrast, simply allowing a look-out to continue automatically without re-evaluation could lead to mismanagement of resources or outdated information. Similarly, deleting a look-out would negate any ongoing efforts to locate a subject, and turning it into a public announcement is a different procedure altogether that serves a separate purpose. Therefore, submitting a teletype request is the correct protocol to follow for extending a look-out beyond the initial 24 hours.
