JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ala. ( WIAT ) — November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is offering a program to assist in the search of missing loved ones.
According to the JCSO, the Project Lifesaver program uses radio frequency technology to assists in the search. Participants in the program will be given a small arm bracelet with a radio frequency that allows deputies to locate them through a receiver device if they go missing.

“The bracelets are free of charge to the public thanks in part to different organizations in
the community who have set aside funding for this project,” JCSO Sgt. Cliff Avery said in a statement. “Once your loved one has been assigned a bracelet, at no cost, someone from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will contact you and arrange a time to install the bracelet and train their caregivers on how to use it.”
