THURSDAY 2ND JUNE 2022
Cleveland Police contacted us to help in the search for a missing man in the Hartlepool area. Team members and vehicles were deployed to cover a search area identified by the police. We also requested support from ‘Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England’ – so two handlers and their dogs from Swaledale MRT later assisted in the search.
We were stood-down by the police after darkness fell, with the call-out lasting just over 11-hours. Fourteen Cleveland MRT members plus the two Swaledale MRT handlers & dogs were involved with another of our members coordinating the initial response from home.
The following day the police reported that very sadly a man’s body had been found outside of our nominated search area. Our condolences to his friends and family.
Applications can be made to join the team in a support role (Operational Support) or as a hill going (Search and Rescue) member.
Applications for either role can be made at any time. Intakes for Operational Support members occur at various times of the year. There is one annual intake for Search and Rescue normally each September.
