Did You Know? In California, a missing person is someone whose whereabouts is unknown to the reporting party. This includes any child who may have run away, been taken involuntary, or may need assistance. There is NO waiting period for reporting a person missing. All California police and sheriffs’ departments must accept any report, including a report by telephone, of a missing person, including runaways, without delay and will give priority to the handling of the report.
Suicide
On March 24, officers responded to a confirmed suicide. The elderly male committed suicide using a handgun and left a suicide note. According to the National Council On Aging (NCOA), suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., affecting men and women of all ages. Older adults are especially vulnerable to suicide for a number of reasons. These range from grief over the passing of loved ones to chronic illness. In 2017, among the more than 47,000 suicides that took place in the U.S., 8,500 were attributed to people age 65 and up. Men 65 and older face the highest overall rate of suicide.
