What is Project Lifesaver?
The York Regional Police Project Lifesaver program combines radio technology with a co-ordinated police response to locate wandering and disoriented loved ones due to Alzheimer's, autism or other conditions or disorders.How does Project Lifesaver work?
Project Lifesaver participants wear a wristband that emits a tracking signal. The wristband is a one-ounce, battery-operated transmitter that emits an FM radio signal every second, 24 hours a day. These products are supplied directly by Project Lifesaver International.When caregivers notify York Regional Police their loved one is missing, a Search and Rescue team responds to the area where the person was last seen and utilizes a specialized mobile-location tracking system.
