Meet John Henderson, Executive Director of Safe and Found Online.
Working the idea up from a tracking tool to a system encompassing the Herbert Protocol.
John has been amazing, and we're so pleased to see how far the development has come along.
Initially developed as an aid for people living with dementia in 2019, we have now branched out to help missing Veterans in 2023.
The project has been made possible with the backing of Laker BMS and has been powered by technology developed by Tinkle.
What is the Forcer Protocol?
The Forcer Protocol is a tool used by the Police to ensure key information is available when searching for service veterans who are lost / missing.
This platform has been launched alongside @gmpolice, who are supporting us
Happy New Year from all of the team here at Safe and Found Online!

What is PTSD 999?
PTSD 999 was founded by a former police officer after the 2005 bombings where he was present.
This developed a program of self-help and support for the blue light services, and provided support for anyone suffering from PTSD.
This weekend as we come together for Remembrance Day, GMP are the first force to adopt the #ForcerProtocol

We were selected to assist Claire Lilly and the Greater Manchester Police in developing the Forcer Protocol. If a veteran, military personnel or reservist is reported as a missing person, the Police will now have direct and instant access to potentially life-saving information.
Greater Manchester Police will be piloting the "Forcer Protocol" to improve mental health for veterans.
Alan Forcer was a military veteran with Complex PTSD.
Our specialist inquest solicitor, @gemma_vine represented Alan's family at his Inquest.

After being invited to present to the NPCC Missing People Expert Reference Group we exhibited at the National Missing Person Conference this year in Bradford where we updated DCC Catherine Hankinson Missing Person Lead on our system's latest developments.
People living with dementia are identified as being vulnerable or at risk in situations and can be at higher risk of going missing. It's estimated that 4\10 people living with dementia who live in their own homes will get lost at least once.
We have partnered with the West Yorkshire Police!
We met with West Yorkshire police HQ to discuss plans to collaborate on the Safe and Found Online Software. This gives over 300 police officers access to our system, allowing them onto the database to track missing people.
The #HerbertProtocol is used by #families and those who care for vulnerable people to record information in advance so that it’s quickly available in the event that they go #missing. @safeandfoundon1 offers a digital version of the paper form.
