Did you and your friend get separated last night and you don’t know where they are? Did your roommate not come home last night? Have you have tried to call your friend repeatedly, but haven’t heard anything back in hours? Most often, a dead cell phone battery or deep sleep is the reason why you can’t get a hold of your friend. Unfortunately, it is also possible that they were arrested or taken to the hospital. Since it is less likely that your friend has been emitted to the hospital, it is best to start with the local jails.

Find your Friend in Jail

The first thing you want to do is contact your friend using the main source of communication between you two. Try to call, email, or text to try and get a response. If this does not work after a 3 -4 hours, then maybe they cannot be contacted for some reason. If it is still early in the morning, they might be sleeping in as a result of a late night. Wait until the afternoon, then attempt to re-contact them. If there is still no answer or response, then move on to the next plan of action.

Call the local police station. If you are on vacation, find out which county you are in, and the police station that has jurisdiction there. You can find this information on Google, call the operator, or ask a hotel representative. Once you make contact with the local police, simply ask them if they have an arrest on record from last night, and give them your friend’s name. They should be able to look up that information and disclose it to you without any problem. If for some reason they cannot give you this information, or you cannot make contact with them, there are other options.

There are free online databases that contain information about criminals and fugitives. You can look up any person that has a criminal record; whether that be a DUI or felony theft. There are also lists for arrest warrants and more. You may be able to find the arrest record of your friend on this portal if they have been processed already. Some jails are very busy, and processing each intake is a tedious task.

If all these attempts fail, your last chance is to call a bail bondsman. They may have access to these types of records, and can also help you get your friend out of jail fast. If there is still no information or you discover they are not in jail, check the hospitals next. If they are missing for more than 24 hours, call the police to file a missing persons’ report. It is also important to contact their family.
