"Project
Lifesaver" is a joint effort between all law-enforcement
agencies in the county. The Buena Vista Police Department and the Rockbridge
County Sheriff’s Department have been chosen as host agencies for the program.
However, the Buena Vista Sheriff’s Office, and the City of Lexington Police
Department will train their officers to participate in the program.
What
is Project Lifesaver? The program is
designed to prevent individuals with diseases of the mind, or traumatic brain
injuries from becoming lost should they wander off.
How
does it work? The applicant is fitted
with a bracelet that is similar to a watch. The device sends out a signal,
which can be tracked, should the person become lost.
How
can I get this for a loved one?
