Project Lifesaver - Electronic Technology to Locate Missing Persons

		Each Project Lifesaver client is provided a one-ounce electronic bracelet that emits a unique radio signal 24 hours a day. Each bracelet is encoded with not only name and typical identifying features, but also idiosyncratic characteristics that can aid the search team in approaching the client, gaining their trust and putting them at ease for the journey home. When a client wanders anywhere in Whatcom County, a call to 9-1-1 by the caregiver will trigger a rapid response by a specialized team within the Whatcom County Sheriff ’s Department. A search to locate that client’s unique radio signal is started as soon as possible.
		If you know of someone who might benefit from Project Lifesaver, please call the Alzheimer Society at 360-671-3316 or 800-493-3959 for further information.
