Project Lifesaver is a program implemented by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office to assist in locating members of the community with cognitive disorders who may wander or become lost. The primary mission of Project Lifesaver is assisting with reduced search times for these at-risk individuals from hours and possibly days, down to minutes!!
This program is geared towards adults and children of Brevard County who have dementia, Alzheimer’s, Down Syndrome, and other cognitive disorders with the potential to wander, and not be able to find their way home. If they meet the requirements of the program, the participant is given a bracelet to wear, which has an individualized frequency that is emitted from it, and if they become lost, law enforcement is able to respond to the area and track the frequency in order to locate the individual. Along with this, the first responders are able to know specific details about the person, and how to best approach them when located, to contribute to a successful recovery!! All of this information is provided by the person’s family or caregiver when enrolled in the program.
