How It Works

Missing Persons Network is a public service platform that helps families, communities, and law enforcement share information and receive tips that may assist in safely locating missing people.

1. A case is submitted

Families or authorised representatives can submit details about a missing person, including a photo, description, and the last known location. All submissions are reviewed before appearing publicly.

• Name and description
• Last seen information
• Photographs (optional)
• Relevant circumstances

2. The case is published

Once verified, the case appears on our public listings so the community can help keep an eye out. Each case includes a printable poster and a simple way for people to submit tips.

Only currently active missing persons are displayed publicly. When someone is located, their page is removed promptly to protect their privacy.

3. Tips are submitted securely

Members of the public can share information using our tip form. Tips are not displayed publicly and are forwarded privately to the case owner or the appropriate authorities.

• No public comments
• No discussion threads
• No personal data shared publicly

This helps prevent harassment, misinformation, or harmful speculation.

4. When a person is found

As soon as a case is marked resolved:

• The page is removed from public listings
• Search engines are asked to remove the page
• Posters are disabled

We do not keep public archives of located individuals to protect their future privacy and wellbeing.

5. Our role

If you believe you have seen a missing person or someone is in immediate danger, always contact 911 or local police first.
