This system works but is under utilized.
Great to see a positive outcome.

Earlier this evening, our team was activated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Nova Scotia and Project Lifesaver Association of Nova Scotia to locate a vulnerable person who had wandered into the woods of the North Mountain. Our Electronic Search Specialists picked up a signal from his bracelet (it emits a radio signal every second) immediately upon arrival to the location, and after bushwhacking through the unforgiving terrain and vegetation for an hour, located him alive and well, and delivered him back home. This program works. If you have a loved one who is prone to wandering, please contact http://www.projectlifesaver.info/ .
