The Augusta County Sheriff's Department, as well as Staunton and Waynesboro police in Illinois recently adopted Project Lifesaver for kids with autism. Some children with autism may wander away from home. Project Lifesaver consists of a bracelet that sends off a tracking signal; the child or person with special needs wears this. Law enforcement officials said that it typically takes more than 10 hours of searching to locate the person, with a tracking bracelet, the time is decreased to 30 minutes. The bracelet costs $300, however, parents may be able to find grants to help pay for this safety feature.
