Police in Needham on Thursday launched an intensive search for a missing 18-year-old man.

The search for Cole Davison, which is focused on an area near 1000 South Street, involves multiple police departments, K-9 teams, and drone units, officials said.

Police said they want to check on the teenager’s well-being. They did not say when he was last seen.

Around noon, police said there is no indication that Davison is armed and that he has not threatened anyone. There is no known danger to the public, police said.

Davison may be wearing a blue flannel jacket with gold or yellow coloring, police said.

At 1:23 p.m., police released an emergency alert repeating the same information and minutes later posted on Facebook that he had not been found.

Police have advised residents against assisting with the search. They said such efforts could confuse thermal imaging technology that drones are using to find Davison.

Every heat signature in the search area must be investigated and verified, police said, and additional people entering can “significantly slow down these efforts and divert valuable resources away from locating” Davison.

Police said the best way to help is to stay clear of the area. They have also asked people to respect the privacy of Davison’s family at this time.
