Officers Scott Affonce and Justin Fonseca will host "Bringing Loved Ones Home: A Community Search and Rescue Presentation" on Tuesday, May 19 at 1 p.m. at the Dartmouth Council on Aging.

Affonce and Fonseca joined the Southeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (S.E.M.L.E.C.) Search and Rescue team in September 2010. The officers have been trained in urban and wilderness searches, land navigation by compass and G.P.S. Officers Affonce and Fonseca are nationally certified Sartech III by the National Association for Search and Rescue.

The S.E.M.L.E.C. Search and Rescue team consists of 35 members from 28 different communities. These officers can be called upon for missing persons and evidence searches in any of the member’s communities.

Attendees will learn what to do if they have a missing or lost person, as well as about the new programs used to assist in locating family members or loved ones with cognitive disorders such as Autism and Alzheimer’s.
