Dartmoor Search & Rescue Team (Tavistock).  Registered Charity No 1201527.  All Rights Reserved.

Incident 23. Our team was called by the Police at 08:43 to assist in a search for a 38 year old male, who had been missing for nearly 24 hours. Information suggested that he may be at high risk. We deployed two air-scenting search dog teams along with 23 other members for an extensive search of a range of terrain, including woodland and open fields. It was a joint agency search involving Police personnel, firemen from the Urban Search and Rescue unit, Police drone teams and a helicopter from the National Police Air Service. Around lunchtime further information was received that suggested the subject may have moved out of our search area and it was agreed that our Team should suspend the search at 14:00. Some other agencies remained to continue to gather information.
