HOW PROJECT

LIFESAVER WORKS

Project Lifesaver is an innovative and rapidly growing program aiding the victims and families suffering Alzheimer's Disease and related disorders such as Down Syndrome and Autism. Project Lifesaver uses state-of-the-art technology employing wristband transmitters to locate wandering lost adults and children. 

Project Lifesaver is much more than a passive ID bracelet. It is an active system that relies on state-of-the-art technology and a specially trained search and rescue team. People who are part of the Project Lifesaver program wear a personalized bracelet that emits a tracking signal. When caregivers notify the local Project Lifesaver agency that the person is missing, a search and rescue team responds to the wanderer's area and starts searching with the mobile locator tracking system.

Applications are available at the Sheriff’s Department office or at any one of the 11 Office on Aging Outreach Stations.
