    (b) A coordinated program known as the Crimes Against

dissemination of information regarding a person who is
suspected of committing or attempting to commit any of the
offenses described in subsection (c).
    (c) The Department of State Police shall develop an
advisory to assist law enforcement agencies when the commission

        (1) first degree murder;
        (2) second degree murder;
        (3) involuntary manslaughter;
        (4) reckless homicide; and
        (5) concealment of homicidal death.
    (d) Law enforcement agencies participating in the advisory
may request assistance when:
        (1) the agency believes that a suspect has not been
    apprehended;
        (2) the agency believes that the suspect may be a
    serious threat to the public; and
        (3) sufficient information is available to disseminate
    to the public that could assist in locating the suspect.
    (e) The Department of State Police shall reserve the
authority to determine if dissemination of the information will
pose a significant risk to the public or jeopardize the
investigation.
    (f) The Department of State Police may partner with media
and may request a media broadcast concerning details of the
suspect in order to obtain the public's assistance in locating
the suspect or vehicle used in the offense, or both.
