Water Training

On Wednesday a few of our Water Rescue First Responders and Water & Flood Incident Managers joined Northumbria Police’s Marine Unit down by the river in Chopwell Woods. The exercise was designed to demonstrate the use of different techniques in order to safely access and egress riverside locations to recover an injured or deceased person.

As part of the exercise we put to good use our technical rope rescue techniques.

Two Scene of Crimes Officers also joined the training session and gave input on forensic body recovery from water.
