Help when you return after being reported missing

You have been reported as missing to Nottinghamshire Police.

What does this mean?

Police forces use the definition:

“Anyone whose whereabouts cannot be established will be considered as missing until located and their wellbeing or otherwise confirmed”

This means that if you are expected to be at home and are not there, or haven’t arrived at somewhere you’re supposed to be, this may be why you were reported missing.

It is not illegal to go missing. The police will look for you to check you are safe and well, this does not mean you are in trouble.

How do I stop being missing?

To stop looking for you as a missing person, the police need to see you in person to check you are safe and well. We do not need to see you in the place you went missing from, so if you are in a different town or city you can go to a local police station or approach a police officer if you see one in public.

We are here to help…

If you are worried about anything that might have made you go missing, or happened whilst you were missing, please tell us.

If you think you are missing… please call 101 to let us know you are safe
If you are in danger and need urgent help, please call 999.

The Missing Persons Team for Nottinghamshire Police can be contacted on
Extension 318 0966 or via Direct Message through the Nottinghamshire Missing Persons Facebook page.
