The County of Burlington, New Jersey was awarded a $149,667 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Missing Alzheimer's Disease Patient Assistance Program (CFDA 16.015). The grant will enable the County's Sheriff's Department and local police departments to acquire and implement the AngelSense GPS tracking and monitoring system for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities who may wander from safe environments. This technology provides enhanced location capabilities compared to the existing Project Lifesaver radio tracking system, addressing limitations in signal range and real-time updates. The project aims to improve response times and increase the likelihood of safely locating and returning missing persons with cognitive disorders. The grant term runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
