“There is no indication that Davison is armed, he has made no threats toward anyone, and there is no known danger to the public,” the Needham Police Department said in a statement.
Authorities in Needham, Massachusetts, have launched a massive search for 17-year-old Cole Davison, a senior at Needham High School, who is currently missing, CBS News reported.
Police have established a large presence near the 1000 block of South Street to locate the teenager. Police officials stated they are working to check on Davison’s well-being as the operation continues into the evening of November 12.
The mobilization involves multiple specialized units working in coordination to cover the search area. According to the Needham Police Department, the response includes members of the department, Metro-LEC Search and Rescue, K-9 teams, and drone units.
Searchers are looking for a teen described as possibly wearing a blue flannel jacket with gold or yellow coloring. To assist in the effort, two emergency alerts were issued to mobile phones in the vicinity, asking residents to keep a watchful eye for Davison.
Law enforcement has issued a specific directive to the community to manage the perimeter of the active search zone. Residents are being asked to stay clear of the immediate area to ensure the effectiveness of high-tech search tools.
“The public is asked not to self-deploy or enter the search area, as doing so can interfere with thermal imaging technology and delay search efforts,” the Needham police said.
Police emphasized that unauthorized individuals entering the search zone could divert resources and hinder the technical capabilities of the teams on the ground. “Additional people entering the search area can significantly slow down these efforts and divert valuable resources away from locating Cole,” the department added.
The best way for the community to assist is by allowing trained professionals to conduct their work and keeping the area clear for emergency vehicles and search units. Officials also requested that the public respect the privacy of the Davison family during this time.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Cole Davison is urged to contact the Needham Police Department at (781) 444-1212.
