Lifesaver Program

 The Garden City Police Department is a participating agency in the Project Lifesaver Program. The Project Lifesaver Program is a county-wide search and rescue rapid response locator program for finding a Project Lifesaver missing person. These individuals, who maintain a 24-hour caregiver, suffer from a cognitive disorder and are known to wander and become lost. They are outfitted with a personal transmitter bracelet around the wrist or ankle which emits an individualized tracking signal. When the Department is notified that a Project Lifesaver client is missing, the client’s unique radio frequency and transmitter tracking device numbers will be used by trained emergency personnel to rapidly respond with electronic tracking equipment to the client’s last known location and conduct an immediate search
