DO NOT USE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY! THIS IS NOT FOR EMERGENCIES!
Notice: The Suitcase Detective is not a police, governmental, or investigative agency. To report a case to the police or contact them with information / testimony / sightings / identification, respond to the police directly. If you cannot find details for contacting the relevant national police or prefer faster assistance in your native language, you may want to contact or the nearest relevant embassy.
DO NOT USE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY! THIS IS NOT FOR EMERGENCIES!
Please be aware that calling internationally or long-distance may entail additional or higher than usual calling fees. Email may be the cheapest alternative unless you believe time is of the essence.
If you have information about a missing person or unsolved crime:
- Contact your own local or national police agency.
- Contact the foreign embassy in your country
- Review the agencies below and see if you can use the contacts to find an agency that will help.
There are often ways to file a report anonymously through police resources, but not all of the contact methods below will be secure.
In general, we have tried linking to the national police, the national capital’s police, or another relevant government agency. In many cases, the Ministry of Interior or Ministry of Internal Affairs oversees the police force and are linked below as an alternative when the actual contact details for the police are difficult to find.
This list is NOT intended for you to rely upon in an emergency or in lieu of more official sources. Our only purpose is to provide you with contacts that might help you find the right connection if you are not living locally in that country. It is entirely possible that the contacts below will send you to someone else, but we hope that they at least could help point you in the right direction. Again, if in doubt, try contacting the embassy first.
Any notices sent to “The Suitcase Detective” or “Never Quit Looking” will be forwarded directly and intact to the authorities for follow up. In that case, your personal information may be accessible to the police. We make no assurances of anonymity from the police. Thus, it is best to contact them directly yourself through their formal process.
Please be aware the contact details can change and new agencies may arise or government change powers. We make no warranties as to the current accuracy of the information below. If you would like to recommend a change to this list or if you find a broken link, please comment below or email us directly.
Please be aware that in times of political upheaval or in political overthrows, it is possible that the currently presiding government in charge of the agencies listed below are not necessarily a safe organization to report to. This is especially important to consider in the case of political prisoners or potential refugees fleeing their domestic states. If you are in any way concerned about contacting their domestic police force, please contact your own national government first.
