How it Works

Individuals enrolled in the program wear a personalized wristband that emits a silent tracking signal every second, 24 hours a day. When caregivers notify Law Enforcement that the person is missing, the Sheriff’s Office specially trained officers respond and search using a mobile tracking system. The average search and rescue time is less than 30 minutes.
