To Report A Missing Person
To report a missing person, that you do not believe to be in imminent danger, call the E-Comm Report Desk at (250) 995-7654, extension 1. Advise the call taker that the reason for the call is to report a missing person. There is no waiting period before you can make a missing person report and you do not have to be related to the person to report it.
If you're concerned about a missing person who may be in imminent danger, call 911 immediately.
When you call to report somebody missing, call takers will ask for specific information to further the investigation, such as:
- A physical description of the person you’re reporting missing (clothing they were wearing at the time they went missing, hair and eye colour, height, weight, gender, ethnicity, tattoos and scars);
- Any vehicle that they may be driving;
- When and where they were last seen;
- Where they work and live; and
- Any other information that might be needed to help our officers.
Typically a photo will be requested of the person who's missing in order to disseminate as widely as possible.
