Greater Sudbury Police Service members joined North Shore Search and Rescue volunteers at Kivi Park for their annual search and rescue practice
Kivi Park was host to heavy police presence on Friday, with Greater Sudbury Police Service members joining North Shore Search and Rescue volunteers for their annual practice.
Tremblay took a few minutes to discuss the training exercise with Sudbury.com, between calls on his radio, including one indicating emergency responders had located the missing person. “These are perishable skills, and we want all of our members to be up to date and familiar with what they need to be familiar with in order to properly complete the task,” he said.
Search and rescue skills are most commonly used when tracking down people with dementia who have wandered off, overdue hunters, hikers and crime scenes, such as Friday’s scenario. “We’ve got a great search team, we have a great program, we take pride in our capabilities,” Tremblay said, adding that they’ve strived to become familiar with emerging technologies.
