If a person is missing and his cell phone is off can the police track the cell phone which I believe it is Verizon to locate that person?

If a person's cell phone is off, police typically cannot track its location using standard methods because the device is not sending out signals. However, if the phone was recently on, police may be able to access its last known location through the carrier, such as Verizon. Additionally, if there are ongoing investigations or if a person is deemed in danger, law enforcement may seek a court order to obtain location data from the carrier.
