When
someone with a Project Lifesaver transmitter bracelet wanders off, the Oswego
County Sheriff's Department, local law enforcement and the Oswego County Search
& Rescue Team are dispatched by the E 9-1-1 Emergency Communications
Center. Specially trained personnel will respond with the special
Project Lifesaver receiver units used to pinpoint the lost client's location.
On
average nationally, the recovery time of a client who has gone missing with the
Project Lifesaver bracelet is 30 minutes. Because Project Lifesaver results in
the rapid location of lost persons the rate of success is impressive. In over
2,218 searches conducted nationally - there have been no reports of persons who
have gone missing suffering from serious injuries. Nor have any fatalities been
reported.
