Project Lifesaver
The Brighton Township Police Department is a certified and participating member agency of Project Lifesaver. This program is designed to help people in our community that have the tendency to wander and was created with two goals; to streamline search and rescue procedures and to help save lives. Designated officers of the Police Department have undergone an extensive training course covering Autism, Alzheimer’s, Down Syndrome and other cognitive conditions and are certified as electronic search specialists.
How does the program work?
Persons enrolled in Project Lifesaver wear a small personal transmitter around the wrist or ankle that emits an individualized tracking signal. If an enrolled client goes missing, the caregiver notifies the Brighton Township Police Department acting as the Project Lifesaver agency, and a trained emergency team responds to the wanderer’s area. Program participants have found that most who wander are found within a few miles from home, and search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes.
