ILP's "Mr Search and Rescue"
 Eric Tennison "Mr. Search and Rescue" Instructor of the Month Sometimes we have consumers who just seem to disappear. They just slip away. We don't always know why and we don't know where. Eric will take the slimmest lead or smallest clue and tenatiously pursue it until he finds the missing person.
"Eric has scoured Oroville's homeless camps, traced old addresses, family, friends and acquaintances to find these "missing" people," shares Ray Fennell, ILP Coordinator,"and does whatever is necessary to get them back into a safe and stable living situation."
Eric doesn't have blood hounds and helicopters but he has a strong commitment to our consumers and the tenacity and perseverance to perform his own special kind of "search and rescue".
