Instruction manual
1
Contact the Accident Registration Bureau. BRNS is an online police unit. The necessary information is received round-the-clock from hospitals, morgues, reception centers, traffic police and territorial police departments. When receiving information about a missing person, Bureau employees compare their description with the existing database. Daily, the Bureau records up to 30 calls. Help is provided for free. Searches are terminated in 2 cases: if a missing person is reported and if a person is declared dead.
2
Call the "03". It is necessary to clarify whether the missing person was admitted to one of the hospitals in the city. If the wanted person was conscious and reported his name, then this information was necessarily registered with the ambulance service.
3
Write a statement to the police. To do this, you need to contact the police department at the place of residence and leave a statement about the loss, be sure to include your contact information in it. The application is accepted by the duty officer immediately, regardless of the length of absence of the missing person. To speed up the search, it is necessary to provide as detailed information as possible about the missing person. Indicate: special signs (scars, tattoos), external signs (what he was wearing), information about teeth (absence, presence of crowns, etc.), information about the circle of communication and lifestyle.
4
Use the services of private detective agencies. It may be worth contacting the agency immediately without waiting for the results from the police. In fact, they operate on the same channels as ATS. The only difference is that detectives are not constrained by the means (of course, the customer), have huge connections and are not burdened with daily paperwork. Of course, the services of private detectives are not cheap, but the search efficiency is approaching 70%. Searches are not delayed and rarely last longer than a year. As a rule, first employees of agencies evaluate the situation: is it realistic to find a person. If your loved one disappeared more than a year ago, most likely the search does not begin.
5
Interview relatives and friends. Chat with relatives and friends of the missing person, find out the circumstances of the fateful day. Perhaps someone was close to him and will be able to give you valuable information.
6
Distribute missing ads. Sometimes this method is quite effective. Stick up announcements in places of the greatest passability: on the areas, stops, in the subway. In the ad, provide a detailed description of the wanted person and the circumstances of the disappearance, attach a photo and indicate the contact phone number. Perhaps someone from the people passing by will recognize the missing person and inform you.
7
Study the internet. There are all-Russian search sites where information about people who are searched for by relatives is constantly updated. Post an ad with a detailed description. And, probably, the one you are looking for will contact you.
note
People missing on the battlefield are sought after by many. These are the creators of Internet resources, youth organizations, employees of specially created television and radio programs. Nameless graves are becoming smaller every year, relatives of the heroes are all.
