Our units proceeded to the construction entrance just off of Rt. 222 to make access. Units from Harford County launched their boats on their side and searched towards Cecil County. Our swiftwater techs suited up and checked the spill way by foot. Truck 72 was set up on the Dam to provide lighting and Delaware Trooper 4 searched from the air. All units searched for 2 hours before Command and MSP decided to call off the search due to the weather conditions, darkness and the fact that there were no witness' to someone actually jumping.
