Colorado Life Trak is a radio transmission system designed to assist law enforcement and rescue agencies in locating
lost or missing persons who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, autism, dementia, or other disorders that may
prohibit them from communicating personal information such as who they are or where they live. This program is designed
for children and adults who have the propensity to wander from their homes and who may get lost.
Colorado Life Trak is a coordinated county-wide project partnering County and Municipal law enforcement and
emergency response agencies. Colorado Life Trak can help provide peace of mind to caregivers. However, it does not
replace the need for supervised care.
The transmitter is a small circular radio device on a wristband,
approximately the size of a wristwatch. The transmitters and wristbands are worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are
difficult to remove without the appropriate tools. If the participant becomes lost or missing, the Sheriff’s Office and
emergency response services have specialized tracking equipment to help isolate the location of the transmitter the
participant is wearing. The search will start from the last known location of the participant and work outward until
the transmission signal is obtained. The goal is to determine the location of the signal in a quick, timely manner,
minimizing the risk of harm to the loved one.
A donation of $250 is requested upon initial enrollment to help defray the cost of equipment. However, for those
who are not in the financial position to contribute, the equipment may be provided free. Once on the program,
participants are asked to pay a $10.00 monthly maintenance fee to pay for the cost of replacement batteries and
wristbands.
