Grant Funds A Tool For FCSO To Recover Those That Are Lost

Posted

Bunnell, FL - The new SAFE TRAK program is a bracelet for people suffering from certain medical conditions or with special needs. It can be used to track a person if they wander off.

The SAFE TRAK program is made possible through a $5,000 grant from Target. The initial cost of a transmitter is $280. For those that can’t pay, a determination will be made to help with the cost.

To qualify, a person must be diagnosed with a condition that leads them to wander, including dementia and autism. They must also have a full-time caregiver.

“I want to thank the great team at Target for their continued support of our agency and the people in
our community with this generous donation,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “I think it is important to roll out this amazing new technology. In law enforcement, we are all too familiar with the absolute panic that can envelop a family when a loved one with special needs or a medical condition goes missing. The SAFE TRAK bracelet can cut the recovery time in half. The SAFE TRAK program is just another way that we are working with the community to make Flagler County the safest place to live, work and visit in Florida.”
