Head of the Pamekasan police Commissioner Bambang Sulastro said the 30 police officers came from Larangan and Pamekasan police resorts.
He said the search was made near the location where the fishermen had been operating.
Bambang Sulastro was still not very sure what had caused the missing fishermen, but villagers suspected they had been hit by a very strong wind.
