What is Project Lifesaver?Project Lifesaver is an innovative rapid response program aiding victims and families suffering from Alzheimer's disease and related disorders such as Downs Syndrome and Autism. Clients that are enrolled in the Project Lifesaver program wear a personalized wristband that emits a tracking signal.The main goal of Project Lifesaver is to locate and rescue missing persons. The Project Lifesaver International Headquarters has established partnerships with many local law enforcement agencies like Horry County to help save money and time for taxpayers, in addition to partnerships that strengthen awareness of their technologies and services. Project Lifesaver is a national project that was originally established in 1999 by the Chesapeake, Virginia Sheriff's Office and the 43rd Virginia Search and Rescue Company. The program is now in over 40 states and Canada. Horry County is the first county to become a certified Project Lifesaver agency in South Carolina. » Project Lifesaver International How do we find loved ones?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. Proven Radio Technologyand Rescue Team Project Lifesaver relies on proven radio technology and a specially trained search and rescue team. Clients 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 locater tracking system. Search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes. In over 1000 searches, there have been no reported serious injuries or deaths. Recovery times average less than 30 minutes.  |
