Missing person tracing
Support for families, alongside the police.
When someone goes missing, every hour matters. File a police complaint first. JDIB can then support your family with discreet enquiries that run alongside the police investigation.
First, contact the police
If someone is missing, especially a child or a vulnerable adult, report it to the police immediately or dial 112. A police complaint is essential, and our work supports it; it never replaces it.
How we support families
- Gathering and organising information: last known movements, contacts and routines.
- Discreet enquiries with people and places connected to the person.
- Checks of publicly available information and online activity.
- Sharing relevant findings with you, to pass on to the police.
Tracing people you have lost touch with
We also trace relatives, old friends, heirs or former business contacts for lawful purposes, such as family reunions or settling an estate.
Lawful and discreet
We work only through lawful means. We do not hack accounts, tap phones, obtain call records, place tracking devices or read private messages. Anyone who offers that is breaking the law, and so would the client.
Questions about missing person tracing
Should I go to the police first?
Yes, always. A police complaint is essential for a missing person. We work alongside it.
Can you find someone who has chosen to leave?
Adults have the right to privacy. We accept tracing only for lawful purposes and may decline requests where the purpose is unclear.
How much does it cost?
Every case is different, so charges depend on what needs to be checked, where and for how long. You receive a written quotation before any work begins. What affects detective charges.
Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes. Enquiries and assignments are handled discreetly, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
