paramedics DON'T, that is not their job. they may look for info in a wallet (name, address, medical info). if PD are on the scene they will handle that.
If the person can't be easily identified, they will cross reference missing persons reports, they can run DNA/fingerprints.
sometimes they put out a press release looking for a relative.

They don't. Police do that.

It's not up to paramedics to do that, it's up to the police and they can use things like fingerprints, missing person reports, etc.
