Victim Services Grey-Bruce and Perth has announced the launch of Project Lifesaver in Grey and Bruce counties.
In partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce, South Bruce OPP, Grey Bruce OPP, West Grey Police Service and Owen Sound Police Service, Victims Services Grey-Bruce Perth states in a release that the new project "is a proactive program for wandering persons that may not be able to get themselves home." Participants will wear a personalized bracelet weighing one ounce that uses technology to alert first responders to the exact location of a wandering person in order to return them home safely. The wristband uses a tracker with an easy to locate radio frequency.
Select police officers who have been trained as Project Lifesaver Electronic Search Specialists will operate the radio frequency tracking system. There is a cost to join and an annual maintenance fee, but anyone interested in getting involved with the project for a loved one who may need it can find more information by contacting Victim Services Bruce Grey and Perth at 1-866-376-9852 or visit them online at http://www.vsbgp.com/.
