The Fulton County Sheriff’s Department has Project Lifesaver, a search and rescue program. As seen in the graphic, the personal transmitter is about the size of a watch and emits a signal that helps to quickly locate an enrolled individual. The program is intended for children with developmental delays or diagnosed conditions such as Down Syndrome or Autism who are prone to escaping, as well as for Alzheimer’s patients. Project Lifesaver is free of charge to Fulton County residents but requires the transmitter battery be changed every 60 days. For more information, contact the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department at 518-736-2100.
