Etsittäviä

Etsittäviä is a Finnish term that translates to "wanted" or "searchable" in English. It most commonly refers to individuals or items that are actively being sought by law enforcement agencies. This can include suspects in criminal investigations, missing persons, or individuals with outstanding warrants for their arrest.

The term "etsittäviä" is often used in public announcements or media reports when authorities are requesting assistance from the public in locating someone. These appeals may include descriptions, photographs, and specific details about the person being sought. The goal is to gather information that could lead to their apprehension or safe return.

Beyond criminal contexts, "etsittäviä" can also be used in a broader sense to denote items that are lost or missing and for which a search is underway. However, its primary association remains with law enforcement and the pursuit of individuals. The effectiveness of issuing an "etsittäviä" notice relies heavily on public cooperation and the dissemination of accurate information.
