LoJack SafetyNet/Project Lifesaver Rescue Stories:

83-Year-Old Man is Rescued 10 Minutes After Reported Missing
In New Jersey, an 83-year-old man with dementia was reported missing by his
wife. Deputies with the Atlantic County Sheriff's Department logged onto the
secure LoJack SafetyNet database to obtain specific information on the man to
aid in his rescue. Using LoJack SafetyNet's Search and Rescue receivers and
expertise gained from Project Lifesaver's training program, police picked up
the signal from the man's Personal Locator Unit wristband and within 10
minutes tracked him to a location several blocks from his residence. Police
returned him to his home uninjured.

78-Year-Old Man Drives Off in Family Car; Found in 22 Minutes
In Alabama, a 78-year-old man with Alzheimer's obtained keys to the family car
and drove away before family members could stop him. Family members notified
the Cleburne County Sheriff's Department, who used their Search and Rescue
receivers and training knowledge to track the man while driving on a roadway
and rescue him within 22 minutes.

82-Year-Old Man Wanders from Home and is Rescued in 15 Minutes
In California, an 82-year-old man afflicted with Alzheimer's wandered away
from his home. When he was discovered missing, his caregiver immediately
contacted the Monterey County Sheriff's Department, who found the man in only
15 minutes about 1/2 mile from his residence. He was returned to his family
in good health.

73-Year-Old Woman with Alzheimer's Rescued in Vacant Home; Located in 17
Minutes
In Massachusetts, a 73-year-old woman with Alzheimer's went missing. Officers
with the Duke's County Sheriff's Department arrived at the last known location
of the woman and within 5-8 minutes they picked up the signal of the woman's
Personal Locator Unit wristband using their Search and Rescue receivers. The
signal led them to a vacant home in Martha's Vineyard and the woman was
identified laying on a couch. Access was gained to the house and the woman
was rescued within 17 minutes.

75-Year-Old Man with Alzheimer's is Rescued in 12 Minutes
In Virginia, a caregiver reported that a 75-year-old man with Alzheimer's had
gone missing. Officers with the Danville County Sheriff's Department tracked
him down within only 12 minutes using the LoJack SafetyNet/Project Lifesaver
service.

Project Lifesaver Program & LoJack SafetyNet System: The Most Comprehensive
Search and Rescue Service
Project Lifesaver International, a non-profit organization specializing in
search and rescue programs, conducts mandatory training and provides
certification, ongoing management and support to public safety agencies that
enroll in the LoJack SafetyNet/Project Lifesaver service. The training
includes teaching public safety officials how to use the LoJack SafetyNet
System and how to gain the trust of and communicate with people who wander,
and to ensure that caregivers are well versed in the service -- all of which
are essential to a successful rescue.

LoJack SafetyNet is a comprehensive system that enables law enforcement to
pinpoint the location of a person at risk that wanders. A Personal Locator
Unit (PLU) is typically placed on a band worn around the wrist or ankle by the
person at risk. The PLU constantly emits a Radio Frequency (RF) signal,
which can be tracked regardless of where the person has wandered -- even into
a densely wooded area, a marsh, a concrete structure such as a garage, or a
building constructed with steel. The RF signal enables law enforcement to
pinpoint the precise location of the missing person using the handheld,
portable Search and Rescue receiver. The receiver can actually detect the
signal from the PLU within a range of approximately one mile in on-the-ground
searches and 5-7 miles in searches by helicopter.

The LoJack SafetyNet database, a critical component of the solution, includes
key information that provides insight as to where the person might have
wandered if he/she goes missing, and provides searchers with a recent photo
and other pertinent information. LoJack's caregiver support organization is
available by phone and e-mail and is accessible 24/7 for emergencies.
