🚨 CAPE CORAL POLICE DEPARTMENT INTRODUCES “SHAREWEAR” PROGRAM 🚨
The Cape Coral Police Department is pleased to announce the addition of a new safety initiative, Sharewear, made possible through grant funding. Sharewear provides an additional tool to help protect members of our community who may be vulnerable to wandering. This would include those children and adults who have been diagnosed with Autism, Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
Sharewear bracelets feature a technology that allows a smartphone to tap or scan the bracelet and quickly access important information about the wearer, such as emergency contacts or medical details. The bracelets are waterproof, require no charging or batteries, and have been introduced to officers who are trained to recognize and scan them when responding to emergencies. The bracelets also feature add-on “PopIns” with important information, including phrases like “I am non-verbal” or a puzzle piece symbol, which is the most widely recognize symbol for Autism.
This initiative is not intended to replace any existing programs, such as Project Lifesaver, but rather to serve as another available resource for families and caregivers seeking additional safety options.
The Cape Coral Police Department remains committed to expanding programs that enhance public safety and provide peace of mind for our residents.
If you have questions about the Sharewear program or would like to learn more about our screening process, please contact our Victim Assistance Coordinator, Christine Seymour, at cseymour@capecoral.gov, and include a good contact number.
A special thank you to the Lee County Injury Prevention Coalition for this assistance in receiving this grant.
