Care Trak
The Care Trak program allows family members to track loved ones who are impaired and have a history of wandering from the home. Care Trak is a mobile tracking system that uses a radio frequency wrist band to locate lost individuals.
When an individual wearing a transmitter is reported missing, the local certified Care Trak law enforcement agency can start the search using a radio tracking system. The tracking system has a range of up to one mile.
