The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office offers a FREE service called Project Lifesaver for Brunswick County residents who are caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease, autism or other conditions that make them likely to wander away from caregivers, or who have difficulties communicating with rescuers. Project Lifesaver bracelets can help rescuers find a loved one who has wandered away.
About The Program
Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office Project Lifesaver Team will give participants a plastic bracelet containing a waterproof radio transmitter. Each participant’s transmitter is assigned a radio frequency that is unique both to them and to their geographical area of the county. The bracelets may be worn on the client’s wrist or ankle.
If the client goes missing the caregiver should call 911 immediately. The Brunswick County Sheriff’s office will respond with a trained team to start a search along with other emergency resources.
Requirements
In order to participate in the Project Lifesaver Program, the prospective client must meet all of the following requirements:
