"Chris is 16 years old and has Downs Syndrome. For many years, he has had a tendency to wander. He will sneek away and go exploring and has no understanding of potential dangers. He has given us several big scares. We had our first chance to use the Care Trak tracking device within a couple of months. His toys were laying on the sidewalk, but he was nowhere in sight. We live on five acres that are heavily wooded, but with one sweep of the receiver I picked up his signal. By following the signal I was able to find him quickly. It is always a fear we will look in the wrong direction, while he is getting farther away. With the Care Trak tracking device, I have the comfort of knowing that I am looking in the right direction. We are very appreciative of having the peace of mind it affords us." M.M.-McCloud, California

"I was really impressed when I went and hid several doors down and you were able to find me promptly with your locator. I feel much more comfortable knowing that my neighbor has an ankle transmitter on, so if he wanders again it will be much easier to find him. I have found the cost of the rental of the equipment to be extremely reasonable." Dr. C. L. M.-Carbondale Clinic, Carbondale, Illinois

"Everybody was watching me, the family, the hospital people, the police and even the Boy Scouts." (After locating a wandered man from a police helicopter using the Care Trak Mobile Locator. The gentleman was found 12 miles away in good condition.) Searcher, B.S.-New York

"Trevor's lack of fear combined with his adventuresome nature can be a problem. I am more relaxed now that we have the Care Trak security system." (Talking about her Autistic son to the newspaper The Concordian.) D. S.-Concordia, Missouri

"Glen sustained a severe brain injury in a car accident in 1969, when he was 5 years old. During the past twelve or thirteen years he has continued to roam farther and farther away from home. It can be a little nerve racking, to say the least, if we have been looking for him for a few hours and find no trace at all. The Care Trak Mobile Locator is truly a sanity saver for our entire family. You can see why Care Trak has been a literal answer to our prayers." E. D. L.-Burley, Idaho

"Just wanted you to know what peace of mind owning a Care Trak Locator has given us. Chad is non-verbal, he can hear but is unable to talk. He was once tracked 8 blocks from home. Our family camping trips are more relaxed now knowing we can find him in a matter of minutes if he wanders and he has." T. H.-Hastings, Nebraska

"We have been using Care Trak for 3 years now and have come to depend on it. I'm sure we would have lost my father several times without it. One morning about 5 a.m., my father rushed out into a dense fog because he thought he had some horses out. He went out of sight. I used the tracker and caught up with him about a half mile from home, 15 minutes after he left. Without the tracker, I would have had no idea what direction he was going." L.B.-Newport, Arkansas

"Even though I am surrounded by mostly woods, I am able to pick up the signal almost a mile away from the house. Just before your system arrived, it took a neighbor of mine and me almost two hours to find her. With Care Trak I could have located where she was within minutes; she was only 3/4 of a mile from the house." J. R.-Middlefield, Massachusetts

"In Stokes County, we run about 15-30 searches a year. Of 61 searches conducted during a two year period, 34 involved individuals wearing Care Trak Transmitters. With Care Trak, those 34 searches resulted in 0 Injuries and 0 Deaths, an average search time of only 30 minutes at a Total Cost of $25,500.00. Without Care Trak, the remaining 31 searches resulted in 6 Injuries and 2 Deaths, an average search time of 8 Hours 22 Minutes at a Total Cost of over $382,000.00. I can lay down and sleep at night knowing when a call comes in for an individual with Care Trak, in a short period of time we are going to have them located and back to their family, hopefully unharmed." G. P., Chief, Stokes County Mountain Rescue Team 42, North Carolina

"We have used your tracking system for several years now, and have rescued several of our residents who experience confusion and sometimes wander away from familiar surroundings. Your equipment is especially important to us, since we strive to maintain the maximum amount of personal freedom. Clearly you have an exceptional product." R. W. Security/Safety Chief, Wisconsin Veterans Home, King, Wisconsin

"I have used Care Trak for 5 years. Fortunately the time he was truly missing the system worked perfectly. Interestingly enough it was inside the facility that he was lost. He was located in a corner room where he had dozed off." Name Withheld by Request

"Last week a lady in Sun City wandered. She had a real nice dress on, with heels and everything. She walked two blocks away and decided to go to sleep between two houses. Nobody would have known where she was. This device would have located her in two minutes." (At a press conference announcing the purchase of the Care Trak Mobile Locator.) Deputy R. M.-Maricopa County, Arizona

"Thus a lost person can be found, even up to a mile away, even from a helicopter … (Pause) Care Trak." Paul Harvey, Paul Harvey News amd Commentary, ABC Radio Network October 5,1995
