Forcer Protocol
The Forcer Protocol is a tool used by us to ensure key information is available when we are searching for service veterans who are lost or have gone missing.
It is named after Alan Forcer who suffered with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and debilitating depression following service in Northern Ireland and Kosovo, subsequently taking his own life.
Service veterans, their informal and professional carers, family members and friends can complete the Forcer Protocol form which records vital information in relation to the veteran in case they go missing. We will only access the form and use the information if that person goes missing.
Register
If you are concerned that your loved one may be at risk of self-harm or suicide, you can record important information which can be vital in trying to ensure their safety.
