The search for missing people is a serious matter in Germany. As the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) reports, there are special structures for processing such cases. A person is considered missing if they are unexplainedly absent from their location and a risk to life or limb is assumed. The local police station is responsible for the immediately necessary search measures, while the BKA intervenes if there is evidence of a possible stay abroad. This information comes from the BKA's materials, which provide information about the large number of missing person cases registered, with around 9,420 cases recorded in the police information system to date in the form of INPOL.
Public support required
Current events highlight how important community support is. Many missing person cases are often resolved within a very short period of time, and the police hope that tips will be received quickly in this case too.
