Project Lifesaver
Project Lifesaver Has Many Roles
The primary mission is to locate and rescue missing persons. We have established many partnerships with local law enforcement to help save money and time for taxpayers. We also have many partnerships that strengthen the awareness of our technologies and services.
Benefits to Midland County:
- Many family members and
caregivers are seeking alternatives to nursing homes and a means
to keep track of those who
experience dementia and may wander away from home.
-Individuals with autism or other developmental disabilities may be unable to seek help if they become lost or wander from the sight of family or caregivers.
-It can take hours or days for Law Enforcement to find a person at great expense and risk to the
individual who is lost.
-Every minute lost means the
difference between being found safe and sound or being found injured or even dead.
-The following statistics confirmed the need in Midland County for a wandering tracking device:
-"Walk away's," or people who are missing because they wander, are a frequent occurrence and comprise many time-consuming hours for emergency personnel. Since 2002, there have been over 45 missing person reports in which a person "walked away" in Midland County
