Not Synced
Project Lifesaver was implemented in 2002
-
Not Synced
at the Lynchburg Sheriff's Office
-
Not Synced
We wanted to offer this to the citizens
-
Not Synced
of Lynchberg to give the caregivers
-
Not Synced
and family members peace of mind that
-
Not Synced
there loved ones can be found quickly

Well I was a police officer in Westpeak
-
Not Synced
Virginia for 33 years
-
Not Synced
One of my jobs was commanding officer of
-
Not Synced
special operations which was
-
Not Synced
SWOT and search and rescue.
-
Not Synced
We were having a lot of recurring cases
-
Not Synced
for alzheimer's patients that had wondered
-
Not Synced
and frankly we weren't doing a very
-
Not Synced
good job of finding them.
-
Not Synced
And I really was getting a little tired
-
Not Synced
and disheartened about
-
Not Synced
having to tell families we were
-
Not Synced
discontinuing the search or worse, we had
-
Not Synced
found them however
-
Not Synced
Project Lifesaver, number one is a tool to
-
Not Synced
help public safety personnel locate people
-
Not Synced
that have a condition that would cause
-
Not Synced
them to wonder
-
Not Synced
It's not just equipment, thats the big
-
Not Synced
thing, were not just a vendor or something
-
Not Synced
were a programme.
-
Not Synced
We have had 92 successful searches
-
Not Synced
its a great feeling, its a great peace of
-
Not Synced
mind for families and citizens of
-
Not Synced
Lynchburg. We enjoy getting to know the
-
Not Synced
families and getting to build reports with
-
Not Synced
them, so it really hits home when one
-
Not Synced
wanders and you know more about them
-
Not Synced
you have a bond with the family and
-
Not Synced
the child or the adult.
