Episode 20: Working in Search and Rescue
Description
We’ve got a lot of talented officers at Tas Police, and they all dedicate their skills and expertise to helping others and keeping people safe every day.
Today’s guests take that to the next level, often delving into the remote Tasmanian wilderness – some of Australia’s most rugged and unforgiving terrain - to track down and rescue people who have found themselves in life threatening situations.
We have search and rescue crews across the state, ready to jump into action when people are missing, when bushwalks take a dangerous turn or when something goes wrong on the water.
Kristy Eyles and Callum Herbert are both experienced officers who have more than a few stories up their sleeves.
Today we’ll find out about some of their most memorable rescues, why they love the job and how their careers at Tas Police have progressed to get them where they are today.
