TextProject Lifesaver
Project Lifesaver assists families and caregivers of
individuals with autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, Alzheimer’s
disease and related conditions and disabilities. Project Lifesaver
clients wear a wrist or ankle band that emits a silent tracking
signal. When caregivers notify the Sheriff’s Office that a loved one is
missing, a search and rescue team comprised of specifically trained
sheriff’s deputies responds to the area with state-of-the-art tracking
equipment. Without having to rely on site visits or paper files, deputies
can electronically update client information, such as height and weight,
a photograph, medical issues and favorite hiding places. The program has
a 100 percent track record of locating wandering adults and children and
bringing them home.
Project Lifesaver currently has 101 trained deputies matched with 48 clients.
