- Project Lifesaver - (Currently
available in the City of Fredericksburg and the Counties of Caroline,
Spotsylvania and Stafford) Project Lifesaver relies on proven
radio technology and a specially trained search and rescue team.
Clients that are enrolled in the Project Lifesaver program wear
a personalized wristband that emits a tracking signal. When caregivers
notify the local Project Lifesaver agency that the person is
missing, a search and rescue team responds to the wanderer's
area and starts searching with the mobile locater tracking system.
Search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes.
In over 1000 searches, there have been no reported serious injuries
or deaths. Recovery times average less than 30 minutes.
