Since Tuesday 8th January (See website news report dated the same) experienced team call out list members Steve Fletcher and Chris Greenhalgh have been attending each following day the intensive Lancashire Constabulary Missing Person Search Manager Course.
Consisting of both theory and practical exercises, the course completed today for the sessions being held at Lancashire Constabulary HQ and Training Complex at Hutton, Preston.
Tomorrow will see Steve, Chris and all the Police Officers on the course being put through a day long intensive ‘missing persons’ search exercise in the Fleetwood area of Lancashire.
Attending to give all the ‘Trainee Search Managers’ on the course ‘real time’ experience of dealing with the many agencies who would be involved in an actual search operation are members of Bowland Pennine MRT, Bolton MRT, Rossendale and Pendle MRT, Lancashire Constabulary and the Marine Coastguard Agency.
Both Bolton MRT and Bowland Pennine MRT have also been asked to supply experienced Mountain Rescue Search Managers to act as ‘Advisors’ to the Trainee Search Managers, in our case this will be very experienced and long serving team call out list member Mike Marsh.
The whole team sends its best wishes to all on this years Lancashire Constabulary Missing Person Search Manager Course for a successful completion to their course tomorrow.
