#1 People Telemetry Tracking System Worldwide: Care Trak is the original U.S. Company to recognize the need to locate Alzheimer's loved ones and Special Needs Kids, who wander, in 1986. We have designed products and support systems to address that need. We have sold thousands of receivers and thousands of transmitters worldwide for Search and Rescue Operations.

You OWN your equipment, Not a Rental Program: With Care Trak you own your equipment outright, saving thousands of dollars. With other programs you pay on-going monthly fees that never end and send your dollars out of the community. You do all the work and they get the money.

Serving Law Enforcement Since 1986: Care Trak started people tracking in 1986 and founded the first uniform tracking program in cooperation with Chief Greg Pratt of the Stokes County Mountain Rescue Team in King, NC in 1996. All current programs use this method today.

Two Complete Tracking Systems Including Training ONLY $4,995.00, No Hidden Fees and Expenses: Our packages include everything you need to start your program. The only additional charges are for our trainer's expenses. These include travel, motel, meals and possibly a rental car to your training site. Since these costs may vary we cannot include them in the package. However, Care Trak employs a conservative policy for our trainers and bills actual expenses with receipts available upon request.

Special Equipment for Aircraft use Included in Every Package, at No Additional Charge: Care Trak includes a set of David Clark Professional Aircraft headsets in our packages. We also include a Band Pass Filter, that helps eliminate aircraft noise.

NO Initial Membership Fees: With Care Trak there are no membership fees.

NO Yearly membership Dues to Pay: With Care Trak there are no membership fees.

NO Contracts to Sign: There are no contracts to sign. no commitments to continue buying from us. We must earn your business every time you call us.

NO Outside Control of YOUR Program: After training you are free to call your program anything you wish. You just need to follow the safety protocols from the training. We will not dictate how you must run your program to remain a Care Trak customer.

You Choose Your Own Program Name or simply use Care Trak: We really don't care what you call your program. We have found agencies like to pick their own name. Program Names DO NOT Save Lives, the Right Equipment and Training Does. Many agencies simply use the Care Trak Program.

NO Potentially Dangerous 216 MHz Transmitters for People: Care Trak does not build people transmitters on the potentially dangerous 216 MHz Frequency Range. There are literally thousands of powerful animal transmitters for research, falconry, ocean buoys, law enforcement and more in use. Dozens of telemetry companies are still building 216 MHz Transmitters for these purposes. These could interfere with the people transmitters during a search, if they were on 216. You could be tracking a Bobcat or Owl, instead of a lost person.

You Deal with One Source, Factory, Training, Supplies and Support: Care Trak is the manufacturer and we offer equipment, training, supplies and direct factory support from ONE SOURCE. You deal direct without middlemen. The Buck Stops Here at Care Trak.

Saves Thousands of Dollars in Search and Rescue Costs: The average cost of a search for a missing wanderer is approximately $1,500.00 per hour, not including air support, per a study from the Stokes County Mountain Rescue Team in King, NC.

Hundreds of Sheriffs, Police and Public Safety Agencies use Care Trak: Hundreds of emergency response teams use Care Trak Equipment under a variety of different program names.

Locates Wanderers Inside or Outside, Day or Night: Because Care Trak is telemetry based and not dependent on orbiting satellites, cell towers or computer programs, it has the ability to locate those not only lost outside, but also inside a building.

Thousands of Rescues Nationwide: Care Trak equipment under a variety of program names has been responsible for the quick and successful rescue of thousands of those at risk. Programs using Care Trak equipment include Project Lifesaver (no longer using Care Trak), Fastrack, Life Trak, Rapid Recovery and more.

7 Year Parts and Labor Warranty: Care Trak has the best owner warranty in the industry, offering 7 years of worry free operation. The warranty does not cover misuse or abuse.

Nationwide Average Location Time Under 30 Minutes: Agencies have located most wanderers in under 30 minutes, after arriving at the last known location.

Helps to Drastically Reduce Workman's Comp Injuries: Police are not searching aimlessly in the environment. Care Trak quickly can pinpoint a location and eliminate 90% of the search area. In minutes Officers search in pairs with one officer using the Care Trak unit and the other officer watching where they are walking. This method greatly reduces the chances of injury to search personnel.

Digitally Tuned Tracking Receivers: Care Trak receivers are digital; however, many people confuse internal digital components, which are what Care Trak receivers use, with digital read-out LCD Screens. Care Trak does not use digital read-out screens because they are difficult to read in sunlight and do not work well in cold temperatures.

Police Training is Relevant, Competitive and Exciting: Care Trak training is to the point and does not fill time with information most agencies already know. Our two-day training session is also fun. Officers play hide and seek looking for transmitters. Care Trak training ranks high in satisfaction and relevancy. Training is for up to 12 officers and is conducted over 1.5 days at your facility. More important is that we have one set of equipment for every pair of officers, so everyone is being trained, not looking around doing nothing.

Aircraft Tracking Range 5+ Miles (Aircraft Use is Very Rare): Quite frankly tracking from a helicopter or fixed wing aircraft is very rare, since most wanderers are found quickly on the ground. Care Trak can give you the basics on how to track from an aircraft in our regular training session. Included in all our package prices are specialized equipment and David Clark Professional Headsets for use with aircraft.

Training by Current and Former Law Enforcement Officers: We have an impressive list of current and former law enforcement trainers, who use and believe in Care Trak Equipment. We feel cops training cops is the best approach.

User Friendly, No Complicated Electronics That You Don't Need: Many agencies have commented that Care Trak Equipment is simple and easy to use. We do not add on features that are useless in an actual search or will never be used. We believe in simplicity because police have more to do on a daily basis than trying to figure out an elaborate tracking system.

Care Trak is a U.S. Company, NOT an Import: Care Trak is located in the heart of the Shawnee national Forest in Murphysboro, Illinois. All electronics have some components from overseas suppliers; HOWEVER, Care Trak equipment is hand-built, contructed and tested right here at our factory employing U.S. Workers.

Care Trak ONLY Tracks Alzheimer's Victims and Special Needs Kids: Other programs allow tracking of typical adults and kids. We do not believe law enforcement should be a babysitting service. Our transmitters are for the exclusive use of Alzheimer's and Dementia Victims, Special Needs Children and Mentally impaired Adults, who have life long wandering issues that could put them in danger.

Fast Service and Factory Direct Pricing: No middlemen. We take your order and get it out ASAP because you deal factory direct.

Care Trak is the Factory: Other programs deal with multiple entities with separate training, separate distribution and a separate manufacturer. Care Trak is a one-stop shop.

Most Equipment/Training Cost was and can be Provided By a Civic Club: Care Trak is a great community-policing project. Almost everyone knows someone who has or has had Alzhiemer's Disease; and, Autism is now the fastest growing disability affecting 1 in every 150 children. Clubs like the Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis, Sertoma and other civic groups have provided funds, with no cost to the law enforcement agency. Our informative DVD is a great way to introduce Care Trak Systems to clubs and business organizations.

Telemetry Based, Not a Potentially Dangerous GPS/Cell Phone System: GPS (Global Positioning systems) and cell systems are great for tracking stolen cars, guiding you along a highway or finding a restaurant; but, bad for tracking at risk people. A good rule of thumb is anything that blocks the sunlight, blocks a GPS signal. GPS depends on orbiting satellites and will not locate a person in a building or in heavy covered brush. Our research and development engineers are currently working with GPS systems; however, as of today GPS is not viable or safe for at risk individuals.

Free Certification/Refresher Training: We will train up to 12 of your officers during our regular training session. We supply 1 tracking unit for every pair of officers. After your Care Track system is implemented, if you would like more officers trained or you would like to upgrade some of your previously trained officers to instructors, we will conduct the training at our Murphysboro training facility at no charge. Your department is responsible for travel, hotel, meals, and etc. expenses; but, the actual training is FREE.

Our Home Systems are 100% Compatible with Our Police Systems: Care Trak provides home equipment to families who have loved ones with Alzheimer's Disease; and especially, parents who have kids with Special Needs like Autism. This home equipment has two parts: a Perimeter System that alerts parents if their loved one leaves the yard and a Tracking System to locate their lost loved one. Again, this equipment is only available to Special Needs families and not sold to typical people.

Those who get our Home System MUST: Register with the participating law enforcement agency, if that agency has Care Trak equipment and training. These families are instructed to first call 911 in an emergency before the family attempts to locate their loved one with their Home tracking system.

Generates Positive Media Exposure: This program generates tremendous media exposure. typically all local TV Stations and the local newspaper show up at our training sessions. This exposure puts a positive light on the participating agency and helps launch the program. It is free and positive media exposure for the agency. We can show you how.

Is a Tremendous Community Policing Program, Easy to Implement and Maintain: The Care Trak Program puts officers in the homes of the people they serve in the communities. It is a feel good program for police and puts the police in a positive light. the benefits are tremendous and ongoing.
