New Tracking System Unveiled to Track Elderly Missing Persons

DARLINGTON COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - A new tracking system to locate persons suffering from Alzheimers and other illnesses is making its debut in Darlington County.

Deputies with the Darlington County Sheriff's Office are training Tuesday and Wednesday to use the Project Lifesaver program that helps track down people with "at risk" wandering traits.

Sheriff Wayne Byrd says the program will be online at darcosc.com for the public to access information on those missing in the area.
