TO EQUIP AND TRAIN SEARCH AND RESCUE AGENCIES IN AN ACTIVE RESPONSE SYSTEM TO HELP WITH THE INCREASING PROBLEM OF LOCATING WANDERING PATIENTS BEFORE THEY FALL VICTIM TO THE ELEMENTS ACCIDENTS OR PREDATORS. IT IS THE OPINION OF PROJECT LIFESAVER THAT RADIO FREQUENCY TRACKING EQUIPMENT IN THE HANDS OF TRAINED PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL REPRESENTS THE MOST RELIABLE AND EFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO LOCATE WANDERING LOVED ONES. TO SAVE LIVES FURTHER SERVES THE COMMUNITY BY SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING THE NEED FOR EXTENSIVE SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS THAT ARE OFTEN EXTREMELY COSTLY IN HUMAN AND FINANCIAL TERMS.
