Project Lifesaver

Project Lifesaver is a service provided by the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. It is a rapid response program that aids families of individuals who, wander as a result of Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairments. It uses state of the art technology and specially trained Deputy Sheriffs to locate those individuals who have wandered and may be lost or otherwise in peril.

Participants wear a watch type wrist band transmitter which emits a tracking signal. For more information on how the program works and the cost of the device, contact Columbia County Sheriff's Department at 518-828-0601 extension 1400.
