Ankle Monitors For The Vulnerable



NEWS RELEASE:  ANKLE MONITORS FOR THE VULNERABLE
           
Contact:  Sgt. Susan Poulsen, PIO
Date:  March 19, 2013
 

Sheriff Richardson would like to start up a new program for the community.  Throughout the years, we have responded to many missing and lost people, some of whom are some of our most fragile and susceptible.  Sometimes the outcome is good, other times, sadly the outcome is tragic.  Because this trend continues, Sheriff Richardson would like input from interested people.

The program will offer the same technology used in ankle monitors to caregivers of at-risk patients who have tendancy to wander off and get lost, such as seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia, among other health challenges.  It will help caregivers stay connected to their loved ones. 

The monitors are only activated if the loved one goes missing.  Once it is reported, we are able to activate their monitor and view the missing and endangered person’s current location, last known location, and receive turn-by-turn directions to their exact location. This program would cost the families around $4 per day for the use of the monitors, which is our cost, but it would provide peace of mind for families. 

If you or anyone you know would be interested in this program, please contact the Davis County Sheriff’s Office at 801-451-4100.
