Project Lifesaver

Project Lifesaver aims to find loved ones who wander : This program allows families

of individuals that are at high risk of wandering to use assistive technology along with the

police to quickly locate loved ones who are lost. The program uses GPS technology and

the transmitters are 1-inch black discs that can easily be worn on the ankle, wrist, or even

tied to a child's shoelaces. The officers training also included helping officers learn to

communicate better with clients whose conditions may include brain injury, dementia,

Down syndrome or developmental issues. This program is only one of several safety

efforts by the county police Community Services Unit. FOR MORE INFORMATION or to

enroll in New Castle County Police Department's Project Lifesaver, contact its

administrator, Master Cpl. Karen E. Crowley at (302) 395-8050 or kcrowley@nccde.org
