Report a missing person
If someone you know has gone missing or you've seen, or have information about, a missing person please get in touch.
You do not have to wait 24 hours to report someone missing. It is not wasting police time to report someone missing. We are here to protect you and your loved ones.
When you provide us with information about a missing person we'll:
- review and assess
- be in contact with you and tell you what will happen next
In some cases, we may not be the most appropriate service for your request. You can read more about the Right Care, Right Person approach.

Trace a person I haven't seen or heard from in days, weeks or months
Thank you. In this situation we'd always advise you to take these steps first.
- Ask mutual friends and family if they've seen or heard from the person.
- Pay a visit to their home or ask someone to call round.
- Ask their neighbours or colleagues at work.
If you're concerned for someone's welfare, find out how we or other organisations can help. If you're still concerned, please call us on 101.
