  • Includes a small transmitter that is worn 24 hours and emits a unique, identifiable radio frequency tracking signal. If the client goes missing, the caregiver will call 911.

Eligibility: Clients must have diagnosis of Autism, Downs Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease), or other intellectual or developmental disability. Clients must also have a history, or severe risk, of wandering, eloping or becoming disoriented as documented in a Life Plan, IEP or medical diagnosis (code Z91.83).

Application Process: Fill out enrollment application located on the Monroe County Sheriff's website.

Required Documentation: Call for information.

Fees: The cost of the start-up kit is approximately $350. After the first year, clients need to purchase a battery and replacement band every 45 to 60 days at a combined cost of approximately $5.00 ($30 per year). Financial assistance may be available from outside organizations for those who qualify.

Coverage Note: Monroe County.
