Project Lifesaver

What is Project Lifesaver and how does it work?

Project Lifesaver is a rapid response program aiding victims and families suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia, and Autism. Project Lifesaver uses state of the art technology and specially trained officers to locate individuals who have wandered away and cannot take care of themselves. Examples include but are not limited to: Alzheimer’s’ Disease, Autism, Dementia, Down Syndrome, and Parade of Willi Syndrome.

People who are part of Project Lifesaver Program are required to wear a personalized bracelet that emits a tracking signal. The tracking bracelet emits an automatic tracking signal every second twenty-four hours a day. This enables trained rescue personnel to locate the subject quickly.

Project Lifesaver has experienced a favorable success rate. The average rescue time after arriving at the scene is 22 minutes. Every person lost has been located with no serious injuries or deaths.

There are approximately 101,000 individuals living in the Commonwealth of Virginia with Alzheimer’s disease, making this a very important program. The Henrico Sheriff’s Office will provide the radio operated wrist transmitters to citizens residing in the county that meet the criteria for obtaining one.

Participants will be charged a transmitter set‐up fee and a fee for battery replacements. Participants must also understand that the transmitter must be returned to the Henrico Sheriff’s Office once the contract agreement has ended.

Project Lifesaver is a partnership between Henrico Sheriff’s Office, the Henrico County Division of Police, the Henrico County Division of Fire, and the Henrico County Salt/Triad.
