On Sunday, July 13, game wardens responded to Mason Township to help locate a person with a cognitive condition who had left his house on foot and not returned home for several hours.

Game wardens had previously outfitted this individual with a Project Lifesaver bracelet, a device designed to help wardens more quickly locate missing individuals who have medical conditions that make them more prone to wandering or getting lost. Several game wardens responded to the scene, along with Bethel Rescue and an Oxford County Sheriff’s Deputy. Warden Tim Coombs utilized radio tracking equipment to locate the missing person approximately 1/4 mile away from the house in thick woods.

This technology and the Project Lifesaver program enabled game wardens to quickly locate this individual, avoiding what could have been a lengthy search and potential harm to the missing individual if he had stayed in the woods longer.

If you are interested in enrolling a loved one in the Project Lifesaver program, please call the Public Safety Dispatch Center near you:
Augusta: 1-800-452-4664
Bangor: 1-800-432-7381
Houlton: 1-800-924-2261

The application process includes a written application, meeting with local game wardens, physician approval, and a commitment from family members/loved ones.

When the time comes to make the difficult choice to move a loved one into a facility, something people often say is that it's a gift to be the spouse, partner, child, or sibling again instead of being first and foremost a caregiver.
