Cleveland Police, which was criticised by the former wife of a veteran who went missing and was later found dead, is one of 17 constabularies to have signed up to a programme designed to help police find veterans when they go missing.
Alan Forcer, a former member of the Coldstream Guards, died in May 2020 after being reported missing.
News of Cleveland Police’s adoption of the programme, known as the Forcer Protocol, comes as research revealed by Beacon, an alert platform for missing veterans, shows that ex-service personnel are 14 times more likely to end their lives when they go missing than their civilian counterparts.
