Why should I hire a private investigator in cases that involve a missing person. Shouldn I contact the local authorities?
While we encourage you to contact the local authorities in situations of a missing person, it is important to remember that one of the key challenges of police-led missing persons cases is time. Police will typically only begin looking for a missing person after a specified period of time has passed (24-hours if the person is over the age of 13) and are often reluctant to search for someone who voluntarily left home (teen runaway), are involved in a civil dispute (deadbeat tenant), or chooses to live on the streets (missing relative). Even in situations where they do engage in a search, they are limited in jurisdiction and can only dedicate so much manpower for so long before they may be required to end the investigation. Missing persons cases require time, focus and the right amount of creative thinking. Hiring The Siroff Group can provide the insurance of a dedicated team who will concentrate on every detail of your case for as long as you wish to retain them.
