Project Life Saver
Project Lifesaver’s mission is to use state of the art technology to find persons with Alzheimer’s, Autism, Asperger Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Dementia or any other cognitive condition that may cause them to wander and become lost. Project Lifesaver consists of a bracelet with a personalized radio transmitter. This technology allows Watertown Police Officers or Codington County Search and Rescue to locate the wearer in the event that they become lost, often with an average rescue time of less than 30 minutes.
This program can help ease the concerns of caregivers who are trying to cope with wandering behaviors.

Codington County Search and Rescue and Jenkins Living Center are area partners in "Project LifeSaver". The wristband transmitters are available at Jenkins Living Center. There is a $20 charge for the battery, but if a client isn't able to pay for it, they can still receive it. Contact Wayne Deelstra for more information on Project Lifesaver in the Watertown Area!
