In a previous interview with this publication, Commander for District B of which Sandy Point is a part, Superintendent Cromwell Henry, issued a word of advice to individuals who have need to journey into secluded areas alone.
“If you are going to an isolated place or area by yourself, let someone know where you are going and when you are expected to return. Also, have some form of communication with you to that if you need to extend the period of time that you would be away, you can inform someone.
“This also ensures that if communication is broken for any reason or if you don’t return when you said you would, people can begin looking for you immediately, rather than waiting for 24 hours to make a report and begin searching…”
