    New Law Enforcement Search Tool for Alzheimer’s Victims & Autistic Kids Saves Lives.

    Murphysboro, IL. Each year approximately 32,000 Alzheimer’s victims wander off. Some are found alive, some dead and some are never found. Law enforcement now has a search tool that saves lives, time, money and manpower. The tool is a Mobile Tracking Receiver developed by Care Trak International of Illinois, that electronically tracks lost persons who are wearing a wrist transmitter.

    Results are compelling: With over 2000 searches, there is a 100% success rate with no deaths or serious injuries to victims. Police departments using Care Trak equipment can locate those at risk. Alzheimer’s disease wanderers and kids with Autism can be found quickly. National recovery times averaged well under 30 minutes.

    The person at risk of wandering wears a tiny water and tamper resistant band that is worn on the wrist or on the ankle. This one-ounce transmitter puts out a silent pulsating radio signal 24/7. In the event the person becomes lost, Care Trak trained police using the Mobile Tracking receiver tunes in that person’s radio signal. The tracking signal gets stronger as searchers get closer
