Report a Missing Person/Unidentified Remains

If you need to report a missing child/person, please contact your local police service, or dial 9-1-1 in the case of an emergency.

If you have located unidentified remains believed to be human, please contact your local police service, or dial 9-1-1 in the case of an emergency.

There is no waiting period prior to reporting someone missing.

A Missing Person is defined as:

  • Anyone reported to police or by police as someone whose whereabouts are unknown, whatever the circumstances of their disappearance, and they are considered missing until located. A missing person under the age of 18 is classified as a missing child.

An Unidentified Remain is defined as:

  • A body of a deceased person or any part of a body known or assumed to be human for which the identity of the person is unknown.
