When a loved one goes missing it can take a toll and greatly impact our lives. When someone goes missing it becomes a difficult task to track down and locate them. Often law enforcement personnel are put right on the case and they will begin working on locating the missing person. However most people don’t realize how common it is for people to go missing and law enforcement, even with their best efforts, have their hands full. When a loved one goes missing you can help increase the chances of locating them by hiring a private investigator. Private investigators work along side law enforcement and share information in the pursuit of locating your missing loved one. Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Miami FL will share the benefits of hiring a private investigator to assist in the search of a missing person.
How Can a Private Investigator Work with Police on a Missing Persons Case
Skip Tracing – Private investigators use a method called skip tracing, which is one of the most effective ways to locate a missing person. The first information a private investigator uses to begin skip tracing a missing person is getting the person’s name and address. You can expect a private investigator to begin contacting those person(s) who have had the most recent contact with the missing person. Private investigators are most interested in those who were with the person during the last few hours or most recently seen with before they disappeared. By tracking down those who were last with or saw the missing person helps narrow down the time the disappearance took place and where they were at the time they disappeared.
Police VS Private Investigator – Some may wonder who’s better at investigating the missing person; law enforcement or police. Both are trained professionals and one isn’t better than the other. However, the main difference between law enforcement and a private investigator is time. You will find many police detectives retire and begin a career of private investigating, which means he or she was a once a police detective and now work independently. When such is the case, you’re receiving the same set of skills in locating the missing person. However, it is the amount of time devoted to the missing person that makes the biggest difference. Law enforcement and missing persons detectives work on multiple cases and many missing persons. This mean their time is split. A private investigator who takes on your case will most likely only be focusing on your case unless the two cases on his desk are related. By using a private investigator they will spend more time devoted to a single missing person. In many cases private investigators work alongside law enforcement. They will share information which aids in the search and recovery of the missing person.
How Long Do You Have to Wait to File a Missing Persons Report? – When to hire a private investigator varies on the age of the person who went missing. Children under the ages of 12 or who are elderly are considered high priority and should be reported immediately. Adults should be missing for up to 24 hours before filing them as a missing person.
