Updated: Police Helicopter searching for missing person in Southend (From Echo)

And the person is wearing ? some times i wonder what the echo is thinking.

why are they using a helicopter to find someone in a busy high street . . . if ever there was a case when eyes are better on the ground, then this is it . . . unless the person they are seeking is clambering over the rooftops

What gender is the person? How old are they? Are they a criminal or another poor, bewildered pensioner? You have given us no details whatsoever.

You call this journalism? How pitiful.

I'm sure just saw a person. Wonder if its the right person though ?

Ha ha ha! You'll never catch me copper!

Reading the report might help you - gender and age are clearly stated.

Nope, when they put it up, the whole article consisted of them saying "a missing person is being searched for".
No elaboration whatsoever. Why report news if they have no details to report?
And drop the sarcasm.

People cannot get police out to a theft etc. The Police put a Helicopter for an idiot who has took to many pills.... Words never cease to asmaze me. Disgusting Police service yet again.......

maybe the helicoptor pilots had a photo of the top of his head so they can spot him

What is a "drugs overdode. "?

So the police took a decision to send up the helicopter to help find someone & save his life. That's disgusting, is it?

Oh, wait, according to you, he was only "an idiot who took too many pills" so we let him die, do we? Funny, the article doesn't explain what he took, why he took it, whether it was accidental or not, but you write him off as an idiot. Something to do with his learning difficulties, was it? How nice of you.

I hope the police never have to put up the helicopter to search for you or your family, as I'm feel sure you wouldn't want to be judged by idiots on this website now, would you?

Frank

Hope he gets recovers well.
20 years old, still has a lot of life to live for.

I will explain how the system works. When a police helicopter is seen to be making a search, a reporter will phone the police press office for details and will often be given the most basic details. Should the story develop it will be elaborated upon, as in this case and further details will then be published. Should the police require help from the public they will contact the press and ask for it.
Perhaps critics of the Echo should wait a while to see if the story becomes more important before commenting negatively.

I'm afraid every time I've had to use the system, they've given me far far more information first off than the basic. They've told me the age of the person, the location they were last seen, Criminal or missing person and gender.

The Police press office is quite helpful in that respect, so the Echo should have had the details - if they contacted the right person...
