Reporting Crime

You can report violations of U.S. federal law or submit information in a criminal or terrorism investigation as follows:

Note: at this time we do not have a national e-mail address for sending or forwarding investigative information. Some of our local FBI offices, however, do have their own e-mail addresses.

Missing and Abducted Children

If your child has been kidnapped or harmed, immediately contact your local field office or the closest international office. Other key contacts:
  • To report a missing child or the sighting of a missing child, you can also contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children by calling 1-800-THE-LOST or by visiting its website.
  • To report child sexual exploitation, use the electronic Cyber Tip Line or call 1-800-843-5678. The Cyber Tip Line is operated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in partnership with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.
  • If your child is being abducted internationally by a family member and is not yet abroad, contact the U.S. Department of State.
