25.01.2022 WA Police Force’s Emergency Operations Unit recently held a land search training activity at Whiteman Park. It was an opportunity for Police and DFES State Emer...gency Service volunteers to get together and simulate a large search operation involving multiple search teams and an assortment of command resources. The activity was supported by Whiteman Park and included a visit from the Minister for Police, The Hon Michelle Roberts MLA. With the support of horses, dogs and a remotely piloted aircraft, or drone, all search areas were covered quickly and thoroughly. If you are planning on heading out and exploring hiking trails or the outback this summer, please be prepared. A range of safety advice is available here: https://www.police.wa.gov.au//Outback-Travel-Bushwalking-a

Their handlers boosted their fitness by climbing hills daily and completing a challenging obstacle course Phew, time for some treats and a rest! WA SES - Canine Unit

Do your research and consider carrying a personal locator beacon so that in the event of an emergency you can be easily found.

Help the h...elpers by starting the conversation and asking your colleagues, fellow volunteers, friends and family if they are OK. Ask ‘Are you OK? Listen without judgement Encourage action Follow up by checking in with them There’s more to say after ‘Are you ok?. For conversation tips: https://bit.ly/2YhknxC #RUOKDay

12.01.2022 ** UPDATE ** 3-year-old missing boy James has been located in bushland alive by a family member who was assisting with the land search operation. Given the tim...e he has spent exposed to the rough terrain and poor weather conditions, arrangements will be made for him to have a medical check-up as a precaution. WA Police Force thanks all the emergency service volunteers and community members who assisted with the search. Original Post: Police are searching for a missing 3-year-old boy James in the area around Karli Rise, Yallingup. James was last seen about 7:30am today, Saturday 19 September 2020. James is described as fair skinned with blonde hair and blue eyes. He is wearing white ‘Spiderman’ pyjamas. It is believed James is also wearing wellington boots. Anyone who sees James is asked to remain with him and call Police immediately on 000. While some search resources will scale down overnight, Police will remain in the search area and continue to conduct patrols and search for James. If James is not located by tonight, the full search operation will continue tomorrow. Important message from Police in relation to locals residents attending the search area: - Thank you to everyone who has attended the search area. The response has been significant. - It is important members of the public do not venture into the bushland areas as they may inadvertently compromise evidence of where James has walked, and that could impact on the ability of trained searchers to track his movements. - Anyone who is in the area already is asked to stick to the main tracks and roads. - At this time there is no need for further members of the public to attend the location. - For those people who are already on site it is important they register their attendance at the Incident Command Post which is located at the DFES SES building on Caves Road.

04.01.2022 WA police would like to stress the importance of looking after loved ones with health risks such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. It’s important to prepare in suc...h a way if someone does become lost, confused or disoriented, it’s easier for them to be found as quickly as possible. There are a number of ways you may be able to help: Encourage those at risk to carry a device like mobile phones, or another tracking device on them at all times. One way to encourage this may be to help them set a screen photo or wallpaper with something of sentimental value to them. If you wish to provide them with another type of electronic tracking device, encourage them to attach this to something they often take with them or wear, such as a pendant or a pair of favourite walking shoes. Report missing persons who have health risks or who may be disorientated as soon as they can’t be reasonably located. The sooner we start our search, the easier it is to locate them. For more information and resources specifically relating to alzheimer's and dementia, visit https://www.alzheimerswa.org.au/ and https://www.dementia.org.au/contact-us/wa Community safety is our priority. Start the conversation with your family and community today.

01.01.2022 Our WA SES - Canine Unit impressed with a paws on demonstration of their skills in a training drill on Saturday! These annual exercises test their impressive o...bedience and capability to search for missing people. Well done to the team it takes a lot of dedication and hours of training to establish the close relationships between these Handlers and their canines!
