When should you report someone as missing? And what happens after that?

Former police officer Charlie Hedges now devotes his working life to improving the way our institutions handle missing persons. His goal is to build police expertise across Europe to make sure risk is properly assessed when a person is reported missing.

He joins Karen and Caroline to explain why you shouldn’t wait to contact authorities if you believe someone is missing. He tells how he’s experienced the impact of a delay upon cases he’s handled and why anyone who is concerned should report a person missing – it’s not just down to family members.

So why do the police ask so many questions when someone is reported missing? Charlie takes Caroline and Karen through the ways risk and background is assessed and how that information is used to try and find them.

We want you to share knowledge and empower conversations to help tackle the missing persons crisis. Find out more about all of our guests and the Missing Persons Uncovered project and find links to support on the website missingpersonsuncovered.com
