Our mission is to save lives and relieve suffering by providing a highly skilled and dedicated team of volunteers from all walks of life, who are trained to search for and recover missing vulnerable persons.

Our teams are specialists, working alongside, Lincolnshire Police and other emergency services, including community organisations throughout Lincolnshire, by striving to maintain the highest standards of professionalism, safety, and technical expertise in all of our operations.

We strive to maintain proficiency in our skills and work hard to stay current, in training and equipment. Since our team is volunteer based, we do not charge for our services. Our ultimate goal is to find missing loved ones, assisting individuals and communities whilst showing compassion to those in distress.

All our members are volunteers, from our local communities, regardless of their professional backgrounds. Our primary aim being to assist the Police and Emergency

Services in searching for vulnerable or missing persons, a child, an elderly person living with dementia, other mental illnesses or circumstances. Where in each case, an emergency response is vital.

Every member of the team is trained to exacting national standards and undergoes a yearly re-qualification as well as undertaking a continual training program which is both theory and practical based. This training is carried out at various locations in and around Lincolnshire, in different terrains and environments.
Members are qualified in search techniques, first aid, navigation, communications, search planning and management.
