Project Lifesaver offered at Sequim Police Department

Provides radio transmitters and rapid response to save lives and reduce potential for serious injury for adults and children who wander due to Alzheimers’s, Autism, Down Syndrome, dementia and other related disorders.  By forming partnerships with local law enforcement and public safety organizations, Project Lifesaver® deploys specially trained teams with the most reliable technology available to quickly locate and return wandering adults and children to their families and caregivers.   Project Lifesaver® relies on proven radio technology and a specially trained search and rescue team. Clients that are enrolled in the Project Lifesaver® program wear a personalized wristband 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. Search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes.
