Project
Lifesaver
Peace
of Mind for Caregivers of Loved Ones Who May Wander From Home
Project
Lifesaver® is an innovative and rapidly growing program aiding the
victims and families dealing with Alzheimer's disease, dementia and
cognitive disorders such as Down syndrome and Autism. Project Lifesaver
uses state-of-the-art technology employing wristband transmitters to
locate wandering and lost adults and children.
The
Seminole County Sheriff’s Office
(SCSO)
in
partnership with the
Alzheimer Resource Center (ARC),
has launched the Project Lifesaver program to help quickly locate
missing or wandering individuals in Seminole County.
Project
Lifesaver clients
are
provided
with a wristband transmitter that utilizes Radio
Telemetry (RT) technology to track the missing person. ARC purchased
four Project Lifesaver receivers which will be placed in each of the
SCSO Regional Offices and in the helicopter. When a person wearing a
Project Lifesaver transmitter bracelet has been reported missing, SCSO
is notified and a search and rescue mission is immediately launched.
Project
Lifesaver provides peace of mind to families, caregivers, institutions
and communities by making available a reliable, proactive search and
rescue program in partnership with local law enforcement and public
service agencies.
