We were contacted by Devon & Cornwall Police to assist in the search for a high-risk missing person with dementia. Thirteen volunteer call-out members deployed to search probable areas, working alongside a team from Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England.

Thankfully, following a public appeal by Devon & Cornwall Police, the missing person was located by a member of the public and safely reunited with their family by police officers.
