Due to memory loss and slow reactions, the elderly are prone to accidents or get lost on the streets when they go out, which not only worries their families, but also worries about their personal safety. Recently, the Sanya Port Coast Police Station of the Sanya Public Security Bureau helped the masses find a lost elderly man in a timely manner and help him return home safely.
At about 20 o'clock on February 19, two people in a hurry came to the Sanya Port Coastal Police Station, and the police on duty immediately stepped forward to ask them if they needed help. Upon questioning, Ms. Wang told the police: "My mother went out for a walk alone at around 3 p.m., and originally said that she would come back at 5 p.m., but then there was no news. Our family has been looking outside for more than 3 hours, and there is no news at all, and now I don't know what to do, can you help us? Seeing that Ms. Wang's family was very anxious, the police first calmed them down, and then carefully asked Ms. Wang's mother about her clothes and appearance.
The police learned that the old man was nearly eighty years old, had cognitive impairment, was often forgetful, and may have forgotten the way home. It was getting late, and if we didn't find the old man's home as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable. Time is pressing, and the Sanya Port Coast Police Station dispatched police forces to search for it. While calling up the surrounding surveillance and carefully observing, the police sent the old man's ** to the work group, so that the patrol police ran through the streets and alleys overnight to find it. The family members of the elderly also searched for them together with the police officers. Time passed minute by minute, but the old man still had no news.
At about 0:30 the next day, it had been nearly 10 hours since the old man went missing. After nearly 5 hours of continuous monitoring and unsuccessful searching, the family's mood was close to collapse, and the staff of the police station stepped up the search while calming the family's emotions.
When everyone was at a loss, some people reported that they saw a suspected lost old man near Luhuitou and sent him to the nearest police station. The police immediately arrived at the scene and confirmed that he was the old man he was looking for. After examination, the old man was in good physical condition, and the police immediately escorted the old man home. Seeing that the old man was safe and sound, the old man's children thanked the police again and again. The police told family members to take care of the elderly and avoid letting them go out alone.
