Full Notification

The Etowah County Sheriff’s Office will host a fundraiser will be held tomorrow, April 22, for Project Lifesaver at the East Gadsden Walmart. The event will take place from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at the entrance to the store.

Everyone is encouraged to donate!

Project Lifesaver provides those with Alzheimer’s, dementia or autism with armbands to assist in locating them if they become lost. The armbands emit radio signals that can be tracked using special equipment. When Sheriff’s Deputies are alerted that a client is missing, the devices are tuned into that person’s assigned signal. Most clients are found within few minutes.
