The Putnam County Sheriff's Department has been awarded a grant from the Alzheimer's Foundation of America to help protect residents with Alzheimer's Disease.  The Department's Project Lifesaver program uses technology and training to help combat wandering, a common and dangerous behavior among individuals with the disease. In the event that someone with Alzheimer’s goes missing, the technology and training greatly enhances the Department’s ability to quickly locate the person and return them to safety. The $5,000 grant will help expand the program and serve more families.
