The situation of a missing person is not defined in the existing legal provisions in the legislation of BiH, which affects the search for missing persons. This situation is being judged by the police officer in each case based on his own experience, knowledge, attitude, his ability of identification, but it is also based on the reviewing of initial information which is often given by the person who reported the disappearance. Although the operational work of police officers at first glance it seems simple, it is a very complex process composed of many procedures, dilemmas, questions, objective-subjective obstacles and the like.This paper directly shows the complexity of this professional work when it comes to the segment of taking operational tactical-technical measures.In the first stage of the investigation, the person who reported the disappearance of another person is the first, the main and most important source of information. The key to an efficient investigation is that the report of disappearance is adequately filled with true data.
