Police urge missing Victorians to make contact

 
Monday, 01 August 2011 13:37
 

More than 7000 Victorians went missing last year – and research shows that for every person reported missing, at least another 12 people are affected.

Victoria Police has joined an Australia-wide campaign being launched this week as part of National Missing Persons Week (31 July – 6 August) to help highlight the impact of missing persons on family, friends the community.

In 2010-11, 7280 people went missing in Victoria. Of those, 4139 missing persons in Victoria were aged 17 or younger and more than 3000 were aged 18 or over.

Detective Superintendent Brett Guerin said police were appealing to anyone with information, or anyone who suspected they may be reported as a missing person, to make contact.

“There can be a huge impact on families, friends and colleagues – emotionally, financially, physically or psychologically – when someone they love goes missing.

“All those questions unanswered: What has happened? Where are they? Are they safe?

“We realise that some people reported as missing don’t ever want to be found. It’s not the role of police to judge these situations. Our role is to simply establish that a missing person is alive, safe and well.

“In cases where people don’t wish to contact their family or friends, we ask them to contact their local police station. It’s a way to let family and friends know they’re okay without having to make direct contact or reveal where they are living.”

Det Supt Guerin said while a large percentage of people reported as missing to police were quickly located safe and well, Victoria Police had concerns for a small number of unresolved cases.

“Any small piece of information can help police in a missing persons’ case. It may be a possible sighting or another small detail that could be the final link police need,” he said.

To report someone missing, contact your local police. If it is an emergency situation, such as a child or elderly person has gone missing, call Triple Zero (000) for immediate assistance.

If you know where a person who has been reported missing is, or you have any information about a missing person, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

National Missing Persons Week is an annual campaign coordinated by the Australian Federal Police, National Missing Persons Coordination Centre, to raise awareness of the significant issues associated with missing persons in Australia.

*Please note - if you find someone on my website who you know has been located PLEASE contact me so I can remove them! The Police don't always provide this information to me so the only way I can know is if someone tells me. The LAST thing I want is to cause the families of the missing any further pain.

I can be contacted by e mail -  Nicole@australianmissingpersonsregister.com or aussiemissing@internode.on.net

or phone - 0422 341 955

Victorian Police have advised me that there are at least 6 people either on this page or on the other Victorian page who have been located. However, they have refused to tell me which people they are, due to the privacy act. Should I then delete every person on this page? Of course not. So I can only apologise to any family who finds their located loved one still on here - I have asked Victorian Police several times to let me know who to remove and they refuse to tell me. I understand their position in protecting the privacy of the located persons, but I can't see why they cannot simply ask me to remove certain located persons. It would be done instantly.
