Huge thanks to Adam, Aidan and Ember McClure (father, son, and dog) for locating the at-risk missing person in Lompoc. After receiving the alert sent by Sheriff’s Dispatch, Adam and Aidan decided to take Ember for a walk to see if they could find the missing person along the paths behind Cabrillo High School- and sure enough they did! Also, shout out to @sbcsar and @sbcfire for helping the missing person back off the trail and to the ambulance where he is receiving medical attention.
