Description

Offers electronic tracking bracelet for persons prone to wandering away from caregivers.   The one-ounce bracelet emits a unique radio signal that allows the King County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Unit to find the lost person quickly.   This unit is King County's coordinator for the national Project Lifesaver program.   When a person wearing the bracelet wanders away, the caregiver may call 911 to trigger a search to find the person using the radio signal.   Battery must be replaced every 30 days, at which time any change in the wearer's appearance or behavior is noted.
