Welcome
Founded in 2010, the Missing in Michigan Association saw a need to connect the many families of missing persons in Michigan to the law enforcement agencies that were handling their cases. Thus, on May 7, 2011, the first "Missing Persons Day" event was held at Ford Field in Detroit. The day became an annual event and now has been shared across the country as an example of partnering families and law enforcement to bring answers and to seek out justice for the missing.Mission Statement:

Once you have sufficient reason to believe they are in fact missing, contact your local law enforcement agency to make a missing persons report.
