I did a thing! ippsar.net
Search & Rescue is my passion, but its knowledge base is wide and deep and difficult to navigate I'm hoping this personal project will start to address that.

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

BOOK GIVEAWAY: Last week was my birthday. I turned 21 (again...if you round generously).
To mark the occasion, I'm giving away one copy of my new book, Missing Persons: Beyond Serial Killers and Unexplained Disappearances.
The response has been so positive. The first print run sold out within a matter of days, which I suppose suggests that at least some people read it. I appreciate everyone who bought a copy, mentioned it, or quietly tolerated me talking about it. And so I'd like to give back.
To enter, leave a comment on this post. That's it that's all. Then I'II select a winner at random in one week from today.
Please share with your networks to reach the police, SAR, mispers, practitioner, academic and other communities to which I owe a great deal for their support.

🌟 Thank you to @Tesco Wokingham! 🌟
During a busy, very warm half-term, we risked running low on water. Louise Jedras stepped in within minutes with 6 packs 💧
She later donated engine oil & de-icer too!
Your support keeps us going 💙

@RLSSUK Drowning Prevention Week
Hot weather doesn’t mean safe water.
UK heatwave: 15+ died in water incidents, many young.
Cold water shock & hidden dangers kill.
One dare. One jump. One “it’ll be fine.”
Be the mate who says: not worth it.

Our Drone Team joined @RBFRSofficial, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Services for wildfire training in Swinley Forest.
Using live aerial footage & thermal imaging, we demonstrated how drones can support incident commanders during wildfire response.
