It's going to be about 150 yards in the woods from where my truck is.
00:03
I'm responding to the station to get the UTV ready.
00:06
C1[3] is going to meet you there.
00:09
Copy, you're responding to the station.
00:10
C1[3] is going to meet you there for the UTV at 1040.
00:12
Be advised, I'm not sure if you're aware of the situation, but it is a suicidal subject.
00:16
We do have CD units trying to locate him in the woods.
00:19
One. According to my onex, he's about approximately 150 yards in the woods from where my truck is.
00:25
We're looking at the map, John.
00:27
It looks like there's a pretty good access road from the intersection with Clearwater Drive and Moose Run that may run in the eye.
00:34
I don't know if it's open or free, but it looks like a trail or an access road directly in there.
00:39
I'm going to send a springfield car there first, okay?
00:41
What's this gentleman's first name?
00:43
Grant some one hand over.
00:59
Grant some one. The gentleman's first thing.
01:01
Daniel, we're working on a lot.
01:02
Ransom Ed1 calling.
01:03
Ratham Med1[2], go ahead.
01:07
Responding. Unless PD disagrees, what stage on the cul-de-sack at the end of Brookwood.
01:11
And can you inquire the Croydon members responding if they can bring a Stokes basket and if they have a Stokes wheel, that would be great.
01:18
Okay, copy, you'll be staging at the end of Brookridge Drive, and I will ask, Croydon.
01:22
Handover dispatch to Croydon Unit.
01:24
Go ahead and hand over.
01:25
Grant and Med Warren requesting a spokesbasket and a wheel when you respond.
01:30
But we don't have a wheel, but we will bring the UTV.
01:33
Copy.
01:34
Med1[2] has this, thanks, Gordon.
01:35
Can you have our calling Grant from Med1[2].
01:36
Red one.
01:37
Chris, we're still working on it, but he's in the woods by a yurt.
01:40
We're looking in, potentially there's a drivable access from near the intersection with Clearwater and Moose Run that leads in there.
01:49
It's obviously longer than the walk that the Grampson PD unit is taking right now.
01:53
So potentially we'll get right back to you as it's been through the route to clear water and moose run to see if we can get down in there to the yurt.
02:00
Okay. We'll be in a stage on Clearwater for the time being then until we can get the best access route.
02:05
Yeah, perfect.
02:06
Can over to grant some more.
02:07
Bye. Contact me, standing by.
02:11
Answer 1.
02:12
Does you want me to head up to where he went off at or go to Clearwater?
02:16
You put me on standby.
02:18
Standby, I'll let you know if they're here.
02:20
...units in Granthum.
02:21
PD units made contact.
02:22
We're waiting for an update.
02:23
We'll abide by shortly.
02:24
Thank you.
02:27
On scene.
02:28
Stores Hill. Driveway behind the engine.
02:29
You're on scene, 1046.
02:31
Yes, responding to Grantam, confirming Grantam 1 is on scene with the subject we're monitoring by file phone.
02:38
Under this. Carly, Code 7[1] from the sound.
02:41
Governing from the sound. Head over Grantham, that one.
02:47
One.
02:48
Be staged road around the lake at Clearwater.
02:51
And I'll establish a ransom command.
02:52
Do you want to use an operational frequency?
02:54
No, I think you're pretty good.
02:56
Stand by,
02:57
we have contact made if you didn't copy the PD side.
02:59
Sounds like they're under control.
03:00
Monitoring by cell phone, it sounds like he just admitted to the Grants in PD unit.
03:04
He did not, really did not actually cut himself.
03:07
Just a mental health issue currently, standby.
03:09
Everyone has it.
03:10
Okay.
03:11
Okay,
03:12
affirmative. Let's see what are I think.
03:13
Of injury at this time, there is 59 as well as 37.
03:19
He's probably going to need to be evaluated by the individual.
03:22
Sure. Affirmative. Your code 7, John.
03:23
Springfield 1, if he goes to the end of Brookridge, he'll see my truck.
03:27
If he goes down the stairs at the house that's right to the right-hand side of my truck, about 100 yards through the woods, he'll see us.
03:35
I'm going to start EMS to see.
03:37
Okay. I have a call at (number withheld) Birchwood Drive.
03:41
Jones and I think to kind of brag until you're like to be too many drills and addresses are thrown up before.
03:46
Thank you for someone.
03:48
Great. He's on Brookridge, correct? Not Clearwater.
03:51
His truck on Buckbridge, go down the stairs.
03:55
He's about 100 yards into the woods.
03:56
You'll find him.
03:57
We have the one, go ahead.
03:58
He does have an active fire going in the fireplace here in this yurt, so someone from Eastman is probably going to need to come up here at some point and put it out.
04:07
Copy it, I'll let you consider it, though.
