San Diego Missing Person Investigations

When trying to track down a missing person, time is of the utmost importance. Despite common belief, you do NOT need to wait 24 hours after discovering your missing person to contact the police. This blockbuster myth is very misleading and will delay the search investigation an entire day. If your loved one has some sort of physical or mental impairment, don’t delay with reporting this person missing to the police! An Amber Alert or Silver Alert may need to be issued. An Amber Alert helps alert people nearby of an endangered missing or abducted child, usually followed by a car make, model, and license plate the child was last seen in. You may have seen an Amber Alert notification on your phone. A Silver Alert is another type of alert of a missing person that usually is a senior citizen with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other type of mental disability. You may see these types of alerts on highway interstate signs.
