Hey Matt, I'm wondering if there's a standby crew from PD that's ready to go in to do a secondary search that we could possibly have RTF1 attach and start doing the secondary search as well, plus they'll be closer to the incident in case any needs arrive.

Yeah,
04:18
I got an update from the captain there.

I've got to stand by with their current swap there. They're getting their high-level P machine to team where the cell phone's coming from first before they make any move.
