How To Report A Missing Person
In order to initiate a missing person report you must first, contact your local police department. Contrary to what many people think, at the Elyria Police Department there is no wait time to report a missing person. That means that if you have a missing persons and you have given him/her time to return and still no contact has been made, it's time to start the process of filing a missing persons report. FYI If you have a photo of the missing person that would be a huge step in the process finding the missing person.
