When reporting a missing person, be sure to provide as much accurate and detailed information as possible, including the person's full name, age, physical description, clothing, and last known location.

Social media can be a powerful tool for spreading information about missing persons. Share information about the missing person on your social media accounts and encourage others to do the same.

Pay attention to your surroundings and report any suspicious activity to the police. If you see something that doesn't feel right, even if it seems minor, report it.
Tip 5: Respect the Privacy of the Family
