Yukon: Missing Child Located Safe A missing child was found safe in Whitehorse, YT on Sunday, January 23rd, 2022 after reports received by Royal Canadia...n Mounted Police in Yukon of a missing 4-year-old boy who had wandered away from his family while playing outside in the recent mild temperatures. Police, including general duty officers from Whitehorse RCMP, the M Division Traffic Unit, the M Division Police Dog Services (PDS), and other available officers attended the area to start the search for the missing child. This week we’d like to give a shoutout to our members Yukon Search and Rescue(YSAR) and Horizon Helicopters Yukon after being activated, in addition to the immediate and enthusiastic response from the community when information went out about this missing child. At 2:23 pm (approximately 1 hours after the missing report had been filed), Duke the Police Service Dog and his handler Cpl. Cam Long located the child safe and uninjured. "Missing children files are the absolute top priority for police. It was so helpful to have concerned neighbours checking their yards and parking spots and sharing this news on social media," says Whitehorse RCMP Detachment Commander Inspector Lindsay Ellis. "I know that a lot of people wanted to immediately join the search in the neighbourhood, but allowing the Police Dog Services to efficiently complete their initial track and preserving the area for YSAR search teams meant that we were able to follow best practices for missing person investigations and locate this child." Read the full story on the Yukon Search and Rescue profile. A reminder of our 4 rules to keeping children safe are to: TELL AN ADULT WHERE YOU ARE GOING. IF YOU ARE LOST, HUG-A-TREE AND STAY PUT. KEEP WARM AND DRY HELP SEARCHERS FIND YOU BY ANSWERING THEIR CALLS. A search and rescue dog is sometimes used to help with the search. To alert the search team, it might bark loudly if it finds you. Don’t be afraid of the dog barking. The dog, along with searchers are there to help find you.

Des policiers, y compris des agents des services généraux de la GRC de Whitehorse, l'unité de la circulation de la division M, les services cynophiles de la division M (PDS) et d'autres agents disponibles se sont rendus sur les lieux pour commencer la recherche de l'enfant disparu. Cette semaine, nous aimerions remercier nos membres @yukonsar (YSAR) et @horizonhelicoptersyukon après avoir été activés, en plus de la réponse immédiate et enthousiaste de la communauté lorsque des informations ont été publiées sur cet enfant disparu. À 14 h 23 (environ 1 h 30 après le dépôt du rapport manquant), Duke le chien policier et son maître Cpl. Cam Long a localisé l'enfant sain et sauf. Les dossiers d'enfants disparus sont la priorité absolue de la police. Il était très utile que des voisins inquiets vérifient leurs cours et leurs places de stationnement et partagent cette nouvelle sur les réseaux sociaux , a déclaré l'inspecteur Lindsay Ellis, commandant du détachement de la GRC de Whitehorse. "Je sais que beaucoup de gens voulaient se joindre immédiatement à la recherche dans le quartier, mais en permettant aux services cynophiles de terminer efficacement leur piste initiale et en préservant la zone pour les équipes de recherche YSAR, nous avons pu suivre les meilleures pratiques pour les personnes disparues. enquêtes et localiser cet enfant. @yukonrcmp Un rappel de nos 4 règles pour assurer la sécurité des enfants sont les suivantes : DITES À UN ADULTE OÙ VOUS ALLEZ. SI VOUS ÊTES PERDU, RESTE PRES D’UN ARBRES ET RESTEZ SUR PLACE. GARDER AU CHAUD ET AU SEC AIDEZ LES CHERCHEURS À VOUS TROUVER EN RÉPONDANT À LEURS APPELS.
