Missing Persons
The
Stockton Police Department Investigations Division,
Family Crimes Unit, investigates missing person
reports.
A
Missing Person Report should be filed as
soon as you are concerned about the Missing
Person's absence.
To
report a missing person:
(Emergency) Dial 9-1-1 (Non-Emergency) Dial 209.937.8377
Missing
Person reports are reported through the state
via CLETS (California Law Enforcement Telecommunications
System) by the Stockton Police Department.
The report remains in the system until cancelled.
The Police Department also participates in
the State of California's AMBER Alert System
used for child abduction cases.
If
the missing person returns home, or if you
learn of their whereabouts (thus no longer "missing"),
please call the Police Department and cancel
your report.
Guidelines
for Parents of Missing Children
As
parents, you are the best source for finding
your missing child. Having a list with the
names of your child's friends, classmates,
and the location your child likes to go can
be very helpful to law enforcement.
- Check
with your child's friends, school, neighbors,
relatives, or anyone else who may know
of your child's whereabouts. Ask them to
notify you if they hear from the child.
- Call
or check several local spots that your
child may frequent, and check with area
hospitals and treatment centers. If your
child is employed, call the employer or
co-workers.
- Call
your local runaway hotline, check online
World Wide Web sites on runaways, and call
the National Runaway Switchboard at 1-800-621-4000.
Ask if your child has left a message, and
leave a message for him or her.
- Using
this format (click
here - PDF) have posters or fliers made of your child
showing name, date of birth, age, weight, hair color, eye
color, complexion, build, other physical characteristics
(glasses, braces, tattoos, scars, etc.), description of
clothing, and circumstances of disappearance (place where
last seen). Include contact information for you and the
Stockton Police Department.
