First tonight, search and rescue teams have been

:00:08.:00:11.

training in Wiltshire this weekend in a huge exercise to

:00:12.:00:13.

test how they respond to a missing person operation.

:00:14.:00:17.

Recent figures show police in England and Wales receive

:00:18.:00:19.

a call every 90 seconds about a missing person,

:00:20.:00:23.

This is a mock-up search for a high risk missing person.

More than a hundred members of the emergency services

:00:43.:00:44.

and voluntary organisations have been called out.

:00:45.:00:47.

They're searching land and also this vast expanse of water,

people who are suffering from financial burdens.

:01:33.:01:36.

Those all add up to a toxic mix of pressure within

:01:37.:01:39.

our society and that's probably the reason

:01:40.:01:43.

why we're seeing a huge increase, actually, in

:01:44.:01:45.

they're aiming to approve their response.
