Project Lifesaver

The Roseville Police Department offers a free service to Roseville residents who are caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's Disease, autism, or other conditions that make them likely to wander away from caregivers, or to have difficulty communicating with rescuers. Project Lifesaver bracelets can help rescuers find a loved one who has wandered away.

To participate in the Roseville Police Department's Project Lifesaver program, the prospective client must:

      • Live within the city limits of Roseville
      • Be diagnosed by a certified physician as having Alzheimer's Disease, other dementia disorders, autism, Down's Syndrome, or similar disorders.
      • Be known to wander away from caretakers.
 

Roseville Police Department's Project Lifesaver team will give participants a plastic bracelet containing a waterproof radio transmitter. Each participant's transmitter is assigned a radio frequency that is unique both to them and to their geographical area of Roseville. The bracelets may be worn on the client's wrist or ankle.

If a Project Lifesaver client goes missing, the caregiver should use 911 to call the Roseville Police Department immediately. Trained Roseville Police Officers will respond at once and search for the missing person using Project Lifesaver radio-frequency tracking equipment.

Project Lifesaver is a voluntary program. In order to participate, caretakers must agree to assume the following responsibilities:

  • Test the client's radio transmitter battery daily
  • Check the condition of the bracelet daily
  • Maintain a monthly log sheet provided by the Project Lifesaver Team
  • Notify the Roseville Police Department's Project Lifesaver Team promptly if there are any problems with the equipment.
  • Most important, call 911 immediately if a Project Lifesaver client goes missing!

Project Lifesaver was made possible in Roseville by generous grants from Sutter Roseville Medical Center, the City of Roseville's Citizen's Benefit Fund, Union Pacific Railroad, Wells Construction, and Walmart.
