We were reminded recently about Project Lifesaver transmitter bracelets, a cooperative program between various law enforcement agencies and Project Lifesaver International, a nonprofit that makes available wristband radios transmitters for individuals with dementia or other disorders that may cause them to go missing.
Our initial reaction when we first learned about the Project Lifesaver bracelets, "Oh, like LoJack, but for people." LoJack, of course, is the tracking device for the recovery of stolen automobiles. Well, we were not the only ones to note this similarity. LoJack Corporation itself has lent support to Project Lifesaver.
Project Lifesaver works cooperatively with law enforcement and other agencies, and has won the endorsement of many, including the Sheriff’s Association of New Jersey. Project Lifesaver has worked with the New Jersey State Police to implement the tracking procedures, as well.
