Delaware
County Sheriff’s Office
announces its Implementation of Project
Lifesaver
On behalf of the Delaware County Sheriff’s
Office I am pleased to announce our participation in a joint
venture with the Schoharie County Sheriff’s Office, sponsored by
Ann Thayer, Program Manager of the Leatherstocking Region
Alzheimer’s Association and with the support of the O’Connor
Foundation, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Delaware County
Senior Council and the Delaware County Office for the Aging to
bring Project Lifesaver, a rapid response program aimed at
locating victims suffering from Alzheimer’s disease (and related
disorders such as Down syndrome and Autism) who have wandered
and become lost, to Delaware County. I am also pleased to
acknowledge the involvement of the New York City DEP Police who
have generously agreed to support this project by making
available the resources of their agency, including their
helicopter. This program is already up and running in
neighboring Otsego County and will be operational in ours
effective December 15, 2008.
