Missing Persons

A missing person is any person whose whereabouts are unknown to the reporting party.

This could include any child who may have run away, been taken involuntary, may be in need of assistance, or a child taken, detained, concealed, enticed away or retained by a parent or non-parent family member in violation of law. (See California Penal Code Sections 277-280). Investigations Division conducts follow up investigations regarding missing persons reports.

There is NO waiting period for reporting a person missing. All California police and sheriffs' departments must accept any report, including a report by telephone, of a missing person, including runaways, without delay and will give priority to the handling of the report. If your child is missing, immediately contact your nearest law enforcement agency.
