Project Lifesaver, a partnership with the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office and the Office on Aging, is a program that uses radio signals to track individuals with illnesses that may cause them to wander. Monmouth County has offered the program since 2003 to adults with memory disorders and since 2007 for people with Autism. Eighty-three individuals are presently on the Project Lifesaver program in Monmouth County. “Since the introduction of Project Lifesaver in Monmouth County, we have had seven rescues, all within thirty minutes, the quickest in 9 minutes,” said Acting Sheriff Golden. “It is truly a lifesaving tool with a 100% recovery rate nationwide.” The program is used in 42 states with 1,026 agencies participating.
