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.
