OVERVIEW:
SafetyNet is a bracelet designed to help locate persons who suffer from a cognitive disorder (such as Alzheimem's, Dementia or Autism) and are prone to wander away. The bracelet contains a radio transmitter with a frequency unique to each client.
Should the client wander off deputies may utilize special tracking equipment to locate them. On average, a person who is wearing a SafetyNet transmitter is usually found in under 30 minutes.
