York County PA Sheriff's Office News
Individuals enrolled in Project Lifesaver wear a small personal transmitter around the wrist or ankle that emits an individualized tracking signal. If an enrolled individual goes missing, the caregiver notifies 911, and trained deputies respond to the wanderer’s area. Most who wander are found within the first few miles from home, and search times can be reduced from hours and days to minutes.
Participants in the Project Lifesaver Program must be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and not live alone. This tracking program is the absolute last step in safety.
