At our meeting today, Sgt. Dofflemyer and Dep. Custer from the Rockingham County Sheriff's Dept. told us about an important program, Project Lifesaver.
http://www.rcso-va.com/project-lifesaver.html
Project Lifesaver relies on proven radio technology and a specially trained search and rescue team. People who are part of Project Lifesaver 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 locater tracking system. Search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes. Recovery times average less than 30 minutes.
What an awesome presentation! Share with someone you know who might benefit from this program!
