Missing Persons

A person is considered “missing” when his or her whereabouts are unknown and unexplained for a period of time that is considered unusual or suspicious in relation to that person’s normal behavior patterns or routines. The belief that one has to be missing for 24 hours is a misconception. If you believe your loved one is missing, dial 911.
