The Westward Police Department participates in Project Lifesaver (PDF).

This service works directly with local law enforcement and is designed for people with autism and Alzheimer's who are at risk of wandering. Westford Police Department and LoJack SafetyNet have worked together to bring the SafetyNet by LoJack service to Westford.

The SafetyNet service provides law enforcement with the tools and training to more effectively find and rescue individuals who could or are prone to wandering and becoming lost. It also helps caregivers provide an added layer of protection for loved ones with cognitive conditions from the life-threatening behavior of wandering. The service will be used to supplement traditional search and rescue operations conducted by local police and fire departments.
