(2) Absconded Sex Offenders. If Tribal Law Enforcement or its designee receives information that a sex offender has absconded, Tribal Law Enforcement shall make an effort to determine if the sex offender has actually absconded.

     (A) In the event no determination can be made, Tribal Law Enforcement or its designee shall ensure that the Tribal Police and any other appropriate law enforcement agency are notified.

          (i) Update the registry to reflect the sex offender has absconded or is otherwise not capable of being located,

          (ii) Seek a warrant for the sex offenders arrest, and in the case of a non-Indian, the U.S. Marshals Service or FBI shall be contacted in an attempt to obtain a federal warrant for the sex offenders arrest,

          (iii) Notify the U.S. Marshals Service regardless of whether the sex offender is Indian or nonIndian,

          (iv) Update the NSOR through entry into the Tribes NCIC terminal to reflect the sex offenders status as an absconder, or is otherwise not capable of being located,

          (v) Enter the sex offender into the NCIC Wanted Person File

Tribal Law Enforcement or its designee shall make a reasonable effort to determine if the sex offender has failed to register.
