Monroe County Project Lifesaver

The Project Lifesaver program consists of tracking equipment and trained personnel for the fire department and a lightweight, non-removable wrist or ankle transmitter for the individual at-risk of elopement. Each wristband emits a unique radio frequency that enables tracking from the air or ground. Project Lifesaver programs are in place in surrounding communities and across the United States with great success--currently there are 1,200 programs in 45 states with a 100% rate of success in finding lost individuals alive. Residents of Monroe County stand to greatly benefit from the Project Lifesaver program being implemented by the firefighters of Monroe Fire Protection District. Currently there is no active program in place for the families and caregivers in need of tracking equipment. It is speculated that hundreds of Monroe County residents will benefit from this program, and many families are desperately awaiting the life-saving program. The program will be available to participating Monroe County residents AT NO COST with the help of donations and grants.
