Project Lifesaver is a rapid response program aiding victims and families of victims suffering from Alzheimer’s and related disorders such as Down’s Syndrome and Autism.
Persons who are part of Project Lifesaver wear a personalized radio transmitter tracking bracelet that emits a signal once every second. When a client in the program is reported missing, a search and rescue team responds to the area with a mobile locator tracking system. Recovery times average less than thirty minutes.
Somerset Police Officers are trained in the use of the Project Lifesaver equipment.
