LA Found

LA Found– a groundbreaking countywide initiative that aims to quickly locate individuals with autism, dementia, or Alzheimer’s disease when they wander and go missing. LA Found features a system of trackable bracelets that can be located using receivers mounted to L.A. Sheriff’s Department helicopters.
