Commissioner's Fund Supports Search and Rescue

Cheshire Search and Rescue (SAR) has benefitted from new dry suits and more water training, funded by Police and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer.

Cheshire SAR is a team of volunteers on call every hour of every day. They assist Cheshire Constabulary, as well as other police forces and SAR teams across the UK, to locate and rescue high risk, vulnerable missing people, responding often in very difficult and challenging circumstances and conditions. The team must have the most up to date kit and water training to enable them to work effectively and they applied to the Commissioner's Community Cashback Fund, which sees money seized from criminals reinvested into causes that assist policing.

The Commissioner stopped by one of Cheshire SAR's water training sessions to see the new equipment in action and learn more about the team's efforts to support the police in searching for vulnerable missing people.
