The challenges
• Every year hundreds of thousands of people go missing. In high-risk MISPER cases, (e.g. children or special needs) Police Search Advisors (PolSAs) are deployed to coordinate searches—but often with scarce search resources available to them.
• Search areas need to be defined and prioritised, search teams tasked and monitored, and progress and results communicated to commanders and the media. All this needs to be documented along with the decision rationale, all within tight timescales.
• PolSAs are also used to coordinate comprehensive searches in cases where forensic evidence needs to be recovered. This requires them to rapidly divide an area into sectors, control and manage the search, and document any results found.
• To carry out their task, PolSAs need maps, aerial photography and geo-spatial tools alongside databases of past behaviours and previous experience. For agility and speed, integration and automation are key. But too often time is lost, and risk increased, through the use of laborious, non-integrated and error-prone manual methods.
