Project Lifesaver provides a timely response to save lives and reduce potential injury. In partnership with the Westchester County Departments of Public Safety and Senior Programs and Services, as well as the New York State Office for the Aging, this free program uses radio-frequency technology to find seniors who wander and safely return them home. It works through devices with special transmitters that seniors wear on their wrists or ankles.

If someone becomes lost, trained and equipped county police officers can find them by locating the radio signal the devices transmit.

The Project Lifesaver program is also available for a child or young adult with autism or other developmental disabilities who may wander.
