Cumbria Constabulary has taken a significant step toward safeguarding missing veterans by adopting the Forcer Protocol. This groundbreaking initiative aims to prevent harm to service veterans who are lost or have gone missing upon their return home.
The Forcer Protocol serves as a powerful tool for Police, ensuring that critical information is readily available when searching for veterans. It grants police access to details such as key vulnerabilities and known risk factors, as well as information about where veterans have been found if they went missing previously. Importantly, veterans or their families must provide consent before sharing these details.
