Time-tested technology: Why most Southwest Florida law enforcement trust it for tracking people with cognitive issues.

For caregivers of loved ones with memory or learning challenges, the constant worry of them wandering off and getting hurt can be agonizing.

It happens too often to people of all ages.

Research shows around half of all children between the ages of four and ten years old with autism will wander and as many as 60% of people with dementia will walk away from a safe location, and may do so repeatedly.

There are a lot of tracking devices on the market you can use to help protect your loved ones, including the Apple AirTags, but I shine a light on a solution praised as the ‘gold standard’ by local law enforcement for search and rescue.

Since that’s the case, why did one local sheriff’s office abandon the program?
