The OPP would like to dispel a myth that you must wait 24 hours to report someone missing. In fact, you can report a missing person right away. Early reporting can make a critical difference. If you’re concerned about someone’s safety or well-being, contact police immediately. The OPP never closes missing persons investigations unless they are resolved. All tips and leads are investigated as appropriate, no matter how much time has passed.
