What Exactly Is A Callout?

Search Management: Searches are planned and executed by one of our Search Mangers. He is assisted by 3 other deputies who work closely with him and the police to come up with the best search plan for the particular incident they are dealing with

Once they have a plan, Search Team Leaders are briefed, and then deployed to put the plan into action. Hopefully we find the person we are searching for. Sometimes however, we may not find them on the first attempt, and this is when searches can become a long drawn out affair with a lot of resources being deployed and replaced over a few days. In these cases, we bring in another Search Team and they may take over from our team or work alongside us.
