A local volunteer group that helps London police, the OPP and other area police forces is looking for more members.
The London Search and Rescue team sends trained volunteers to attend missing person callouts alongside police forces.
In 2022 there was an increase in missing people, and the need for volunteers grew.
Currently there are 75 volunteers with London Search and Rescue, but another 30 are needed to assist operations.
