How to File a Missing Persons Report in Atlanta, Georgia
By Kelli Peacock Dunn, eHow Contributor
When a person is missing in Atlanta, Georgia, contact law enforcement immediately.
If a family member, friend or co-worker has disappeared, it is important to act immediately. Whether this person has left on her own or been taken against her will, use caution and verify her whereabouts to ensure she is safe. (This applies whether the victim is male or female.) Begin by filing a missing persons report. If the person in your life who has disappeared is from Atlanta, Georgia, follow these steps to properly report her missing.
Instructions
1. Contact law enforcement. If someone has been abducted in the city of Atlanta or you feel confident she is in danger, call 911 immediately. The Atlanta Police Department (APD) will dispatch an officer to you right away. You may also file a missing persons report in person. The APD has several precincts. To find the one nearest you or closest to the missing person's residence, go to the APD website (atlantapd.org) and click on the "Find My Zone" link. Enter your address and your zone will be provided, along with an address and phone number of the precinct in your area.
2. Provide details. Have details on hand about your missing loved one and provide them to the Atlanta police officer assigned to the case. These should include a current photo, physical description, and clothing worn when last seen. Explain why you believe your loved one is missing and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. If her vehicle is also missing, provide make, model, color and tag number, if available. Offer information on any history of mental illness or emotional problems and whether it is usual for her to leave without alerting anyone.
3. Provide contact information. The Atlanta Police Department will likely contact the missing person's family, friends, significant other and co-workers during the investigation. Any names and contact information you can provide will speed that process. Also give any numbers where you can be reached, as well as the cell phone number of the missing person.
4. Offer to assist. Posting fliers, making phone calls and locating friends of the missing person are ways you might help. Ask the Atlanta police officer investigating the case if you can assist in these and other ways.
5. Ask about the Missing Persons page. The Atlanta Police Department features missing persons on its website (atlantapd.org) under the "APD Online" link. The page features a photo of each missing person, with height, weight and other characteristics, as well as details surrounding the disappearance. Ask the investigator about putting your missing loved one on this page.

Here is the story on Missing Adult cases:
Anyone can report you missing. The police take a report and list you in the NCIC system as missing. When you are found, the police will tell you who reported you missing and will call them to tell them you are found but they DO NOT tell the reporter where they found you.
You are an adult, you can come and go as you please.
If this person is harassing you, be sure to tell the police this so they can have that information for the next time this person tries to report you missing just to track your movements.

Yes anyone can file a Missing Person Report , as you say "better to be safe than sorry".
BUT to file a FALSE Missing Person Report, its illegal if the person knew that you were in fact not missing.

Yes, anyone can file a report. Does this person have a history of mental illness?

Unfortunately it is true. Anyone can file a missing persons report on anyone. The only way they can do this is to make a believable story to the police and "run" with it. The police will determine how valid the story sounds and check up on the situation. I have had a couple of incidents where people have not heard from their family members and call up to say they were missing. Each time, the family member was right where they were supposed to be and informed me that this has happened before. The other family member was mad at them, or had a mental illness, or was jealous of their lottery winnings. Most of the time, the "missing" family member said they did not talk to that family member or friend very often. No big deal, just a waste of my time and the time of the "missing" friend of family member.

You can't just walk into a police station and file a report of a missing person on just anyone. There has to be some connection between you and the individual that is missing. It can be a boyfriend/girlfriend, blood relation, elderly neighbor etc.
Nobody has the right to file a false report to the police under any circumstances. Unfortunately, the police are often used as a tool of harassment by people who know how to manipulate the system.
Different jurisdictions have different rules regarding missing persons reports. There is a widespread misconception that there has to be a 24 or 48 waiting period before filing a report. Oftentimes this is not the case, particularly if a young child or handicapped person is involved.
