IRON MOUNTAIN, MI— The Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office is bringing Project Lifesaver to the region.
The program helps law enforcement and communities find high-risk individuals who have a tendency to wander. A bracelet containing a monitoring device transmits a signal that can be picked up by receivers, which can be used in police vehicles, attached to a drone, or carried on foot.
Clients’ records and profiles will be kept at the Sheriff’s Office Central Dispatch for quick access for those responding.
The Iron Mountain Police Department, Kingsford Public Safety, and the Norway Police Department will become Associate Members to assist in the program.
Training takes place in January and the program is anticipated to start in early February.
