MOCK SEARCH!!!

Seek1's last training meeting was a mock search that was put on to help our board as well as our trained members with different search scenarios.

No information was given about the case until an hour before our meeting time to keep it as close to a real situation as possible.

​

Scenario that was given: "12 year old autistic boy. He left home yesterday evening around 8:00. Has been missing for almost 24hrs.

That gave our field officers 1 hour to research, map and prepare for said search and be able to relay information to the team when they got there.

 

When the Team arrived at the scene they were to talk to the "Dad" (Our president, Doug Yutzy) and figure out characteristics, ask questions of what this boy typically did, if leaving the house was something he did often etc.

This mock search was treated as if it were a real call. Equipment, uniforms, everything.

​

The team was able to locate the boy (Thanks to Caleb Yutzy for volunteering himself to help with this training) in about 2hrs.

This has helped with team building and growth so that we are even better equipped and ready for when we do get that call to help Bring The Lost Home.

Here are some pictures that I was able to capture during this training
