Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station officials recently offered tips to residents on how to report a missing person.
If Santa Clarita residents ever come across the situation of having a missing family member, they are encouraged to report the case to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station immediately, officials said.
“You do not need to wait a specific period of time before reporting a missing person,” said Shirley Miller, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
When an adult 18 years or older is missing, it is investigated by the Missing Persons Unit of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau.
Missing juveniles, 17 and younger, are investigated by COBRA Unit detectives at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
Currently, a viral Facebook trend is circulating which encourages kids to go missing. However, law enforcement officials are urging the public not to participate.
“Missing persons that are deemed at-risk may be featured on public bulletins,” Miller said.
At-risk people include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
- A victim of a crime or foul play
- In need of medical attention
- Has no pattern of running away
- A victim of parental abduction
- Mentally or physically impaired.
“If you have made a Missing Person Report for a family member, and they should return home—please remember to always call SCV Sheriff’s with the information so that the handling detective is notified and the missing person entry is updated in law enforcement databases,” Miller said.
For questions regarding missing adults, the Missing Persons Unit can be reached at (323) 890-5500.
To report a missing person, call the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station at (661) 255-1121.

By any chance is there a person that is believed to be a suspect that was seen wearing a veterans hat and was driving a black truck or sedan looking vehicle. I was in my car and I couldn’t see the person laying down, but the driver picked up their hand and it was limp. They could have been sleeping, but what made it suspicious was that the guy flipped me off and that made me suspicious.
