North Catasauqua Police Department would like to inform the public about a program called Project Lifesaver.

Project Lifesaver is a program that has been available to the members of the community since July 2021. The primary purpose of the program is to save the lives of those who have a tendency to wander, in particular a family member who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Down syndrome or Autism disorder.

The police department’s search and rescue capability has dramatically improved since the implementation of Project Lifesaver.

For more information or to sign up for the program, contact Officer Santiago at 610-264-1504 or 610-437-5252 or email ssantiago@ncatapd.org.

North Catasauqua Police Department also reminds residents to not become a victim of theft by following the 9 p.m. routine.

Remove all valuables from your vehicles, lock your vehicles, lock all doors to your home and turn on your exterior lights.
