However, if you want to make a missing persons report (in person and/or telephonically) and reside in Washington D.C, you would need to go to any one of our 21 geographical divisions to make the initial report; which will be forwarded to Missing Persons Unit for investigations.
However, we will take a courtesy Missing Persons report and forward it to the investigating agency for their own investigation. Again, this report would have to be made initially at one of our 21 geographical divisions to make the initial report or via telephone.
