Multiple law enforcement agencies, along with the general public, spent just under an hour Monday morning looking for a missing 3-year-old boy around the Bridge Village Apartments in Sault Ste. Marie.
The call came into central dispatch just after 10 a.m. saying the boy was missing from his apartment.
He was last seen around 9 a.m.
Sault Ste. Marie City Police officers, Chippewa County Sheriff's deputies, Michigan State Police troopers, Sault Tribe Police officers, LSSU Public Safety, along with Customs and Border Patrol officers responded quickly to the area between Sanderson Field Airport, the Splash Pad and Project Playground, the baseball and softball fields, the construction area on Meridian Street and east to Ryan Avenue.
Just before 11 a.m., the child was found safe in a nearby apartment after city police officers observed the child through a screen door inside a nearby apartment.
Sault Police Chief Wes Bierling said in a statement to SooLeader:
"Immediately after the call came in for the missing child, the response by all local law enforcement agencies was swift. A coordinated response like this is commended and much appreciated to find the child. It goes to show how well local agencies work together,"
