There are about 500 law enforcement members assisting in the manhunt of escaped inmate Danelo Cavalcante, Pennsylvania State Police said Tuesday.

The agencies involved include Pennsylvania State Police, the US Marshals, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, according to Lt. Colonel George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police.

Law enforcement is planning for an extended operating period, if necessary, Bivens said during Tuesday’s conference.

Bivens defended the department’s search for Cavalcante, telling reporters “nothing has gone wrong.” 

“And I believe we will be successful in the long run,” he added.
