27.7.23 High risk missing male, Yelverton

Incident 13. The Police called DSRT Tavistock at 11:05 to search for a 55 year old male, who was deemed to be at high risk. He had been missing from his sheltered accommodation in Yelverton for over 24 hours. He was already known to us, having been the subject of separate searches carried out by us in 2019. That knowledge influenced the choice of search areas, which focussed on woodland and tracks around Burrator reservoir. We stood down at around 18:30 as our colleagues in DSRT Plymouth began searching of other areas.
