How It Works
Clients are outfitted with a special personalized bracelet that emits a constant signal. Each wristband has a unique radio signal which enables the search team to locate the missing person. If a family member believes that their loved one is at risk for wandering and becoming lost, they can visit the White River Township Fire Department to register with the Project Lifesaver program. Once the application is approved, the WRTFD firefighters will enter the person into a Project Lifesaver data bank and provide the client with a bracelet at no charge. Eligibility for this program includes household be located in the county in which the application is completed.
How Much Does Project Lifesaver Cost
The cost of the transmitter and associated monthly maintenance is covered by the operational budget of the sponsoring agency. There is no cost born by the client or their family.
