Do you have a loved one that suffers from autism, dementia, Alzheimer’s or another illness that would prohibit them from being able to ask for help should they wander away from home? If you are one of the many people in Calvert County who are caring for a loved one with that has been diagnosed with one of these illnesses we can help. The Calvert County Sheriff's Office has numerous personnel trained in the use and application of Project Lifesaver. We have partnered with the Office on Aging to make this asset available to our community. Project Lifesaver is a radio transmission system designed to assist law enforcement and rescue personnel in locating lost or missing people who have been diagnosed with these disorders. A trained Sheriff's Office Deputy will respond to your home and sign you up for the program. The deputy will provide the patient with a small radio transmitter that looks like a watch. If the patient should go missing Sheriff's Office personnel will need to be notified of this and will respond with special tracking equipment designed to locate the transmitter and return your loved one safely to his or her home. For additional information about this program please contact the Calvert County Sheriff's Office Community Action Team at (410)586-1027 or the Office on Aging at (410)535-4606.
