  • Atlantic County

Are you or someone you know concerned with an at risk loved one who wanders away from home? Would you like to have peace of mind knowing that your loved one has protection and safety if they wander? If you answered yes to either of those questions, the Atlantic County Sheriff's Office has a program that can assist you.

Project Lifesaver is a premier search and rescue program operated by public safety agencies and is strategically designed for at risk individuals who are prone to the life threatening behavior of wandering. The primary mission of Project Lifesaver is to provide timely response to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children with the propensity to wander due to a cognitive condition.
