Today our Team Leader and Deupty Team Leader were contacted by specialist officers from Greater Manchester Police regarding the possibility of loaning specific items of equipment (i.e. our stretchers) to GMP with regards to the recovery of a body.

In the event, GMP were able to use their own stretcher to evacuate this body.

At the same time as this request, GMP were also in initial contact with our Team Leader regards the possibility of a search for a missing person in the Wigan area (however following discussion the team was not mobilised).
