cause Julie’s involvement with Cambridgeshire

very easy to sit by and wonder what happens when
peoples loved ones go missing but many people are
unaware that the police rely heavily on volunteer
teams like CamSAR to provide the support and search
capabilities to find these vulnerable people and
bring them home. These people are the unsung heroes
of Cambridgeshire often taking little credit for
their lifesaving work”.
