Spotsylvania Sheriff Offers Project Lifesaver Search Service

Spotsylvania, VA – The Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office is currently highlighting the availability of its Project Lifesaver program, a vital search-and-rescue service designed to assist local residents who may be at risk of wandering due to cognitive conditions. This initiative serves as a proactive safety measure for families and caregivers looking to secure the well-being of their loved ones within the community.

According to the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office, the program is specifically tailored for individuals suffering from conditions such as Alzheimer's, autism, or dementia. By utilizing specialized bracelets equipped with unique tracking signals, the service provides authorities with a direct and effective tool to help locate missing individuals as quickly as possible during an emergency situation.

The Project Lifesaver program is offered to the public completely free of charge. The sheriff's office encourages residents who care for individuals with these cognitive impairments to learn more about how the tracking technology functions and how it can be integrated into their existing care plans to provide an added layer of security and peace of mind.

For those interested in obtaining more information or inquiring about how to enroll in this service, the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office has appointed Lt. Col. Myrick to handle inquiries. Concerned citizens or family members may reach out directly to the office by calling (540) 582-7115 to speak with department personnel regarding eligibility and the implementation of the tracking equipment.
