The Newton County Sheriff's Office (NCSO) was awarded a $150,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Missing Alzheimer's Disease Patient Assistance Program (CFDA 16.015). The funding will be used to establish and operate the "Bringing the Lost Home" (BLH) program, which aims to locate and prevent wandering of individuals with dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, or developmental disabilities, such as autism. The program will involve purchasing location tracking technologies, developing community awareness initiatives, training first responders, and establishing partnerships with local agencies and organizations to support vulnerable populations at risk of wandering. The 3-year project period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
