Question

How can you explain how a missing person can be recognized to a police officer

Answer 1

You don’t have to wait 24 hours to report someone as missing.

If a person is under 12, elderly or has significant mental or developmental disabilities, call 911 immediately – skip the steps below.

You can report someone as missing even if they aren’t related to you, or if they live in a different area than you.

Missing person’s cases are only closed once the person is found.
