It's simple. It's just the right thing to do!

How it Works With this program, individuals wear a radio-transmitting wristband and if they go missing, they can be tracked on ground or by air over several miles once 911 is called. 911 keeps all of the important identifying information on the child in their database and this information is constantly updated with the assistance of the families who have registered to be in the program and through the Autism Advocate Foundation.
By entering into the program, the family agrees to test the battery daily and change the battery every 30 days. These families are then entered into the county's Computer Aided Dispatch Center so their home addresses are flagged in our 911 system if and when one of these children become missing. The system allows for them to be protected wherever they may be, at home, at school or at play. The program saves lives, has a 100% success rate, and has surpassed the 1500th rescue milestone. As you can see, the program works! Individuals interested in enrolling into the program may contact Gordon Harris. |
