I was wondering if there was any significance to "Special Victims Unit"? Do they handle all missing persons cases or particular types of missing persons?

There technically isn’t a unit called the Special Victims Unit within the organizational structure of the Chicago PD. The specialized units are Canine, Mounted, Marine, and Helicopter and Civil Rights United. This missing persons case is being handled by the Bureau of Detectives for Area South (what it’s formally called). They have the same phone number as listed in the news report about "Special Victims Unit".
