Narration:

This emergency locator system, integrated with the national 911 system, uses the same cellular network that regular cell phones use to locate a missing person who is wearing the locator device.

Here's how it works: if the person is missing, you call 911 and file a missing person report. Then you place a toll free call to the device company's emergency center, which activates the device, which, in turn, notifies 911 of its location. The dispatcher then views the device location on their electronic map. The police are then directed to the location and will assist the person home.

Every type of locator system has advantages and limitations, which you should review before making a commitment to be sure it will work in your situation. This cellular locator system, in the right situation, can provide peach of mind for you, the caregiver, and help find loved ones and save lives.
