Warman RCMP and Saskatoon Police Service Air Support Unit Work Together to Locate Elderly Male

On April 1, 2023 at approximately 6:30 p.m., Warman RCMP received a report of a vulnerable person possibly needing assistance.

Investigation determined an 86-year-old male got his vehicle stuck in the snow in Borden, SK. A witness saw him walk away from the vehicle without wearing proper winter clothing or boots. When he did not immediately return to it, the witness became concerned for his safety and called police.

Warman RCMP immediately began searching for the male and recognizing that it would soon get dark and colder, requested the assistance of Saskatoon Police Service Air Support Unit.

Saskatoon Police Service’s plane spotted the male two hours after he was first reported missing, approximately 2.5 kilometres from his vehicle. He had walked through snowy terrain, including fields.

Officers located the male, who was cold but not injured, and reunited him with his family.

“We’re thankful our partners at Saskatoon Police Service were able to join our search for this male. We knew time was of the essence and aerial searches are an invaluable tool that allow us to search a large area in a short amount of time. We were able to locate this male and return him to warmth and safety quite quickly,” says S/ Sgt. Jason Teniuk from the Warman RCMP. “When Saskatchewan’s police services work together to share resources and knowledge during investigations, public safety is enhanced.”
