Law Enforcement
Our technology tools enhance your situational awareness and can reduce search and recovery costs of older adults
KEY CHALLENGES
Decrease Wandering Incidents Requiring Law Enforcement Intervention
In the past, police and other law enforcement agencies have deployed officers to try to find a lost loved one with Alzheimer’s by searching the local area or checking places they may return to such as a former family home. However, this can take hours, putting the Alzheimer’s adult at risk and taking up valuable time and resources for law enforcement agencies.
And it is not just Alzheimer’s adults that law enforcement helps to recover. People with Parkinson’s and neurodivergent children and adults can wander as well creating even greater strains on our law enforcement agencies staff time.

BENEFITS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
Thankfully Theora Care Can Help Prevent Tragic Outcomes by Partnering with Many Agencies.
Whether an individual purchases the Theora Care smartwatch and free app or nonprofits provide them to community members, such as our partners L.A. Found and Project Lifesaver, or law enforcement secures a special grant for the Theora system like the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office at Тhe Villages in Florida, our advanced technology has made a difference in not only speeding up recovery time for lost adults but reducing costs for law enforcement agencies and returning loved ones safely home.
Law enforcement has been more than satisfied with the Theora Care system as opposed to Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) they have used in the past as many of those devices do not provide the family caregivers with the ability to locate their loved ones and communicate with them directly, quickly, and easily.
Many PERS devices will only be monitored with professional call centers, and do not include the family caregiver until after an incident. Creating a partnership with the family caregivers and law enforcement has significantly improved outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Theora Care smartwatch help law enforcement?
Every minute counts when searching for a missing person – both in the success of finding the person but also in the costs to law enforcement for officer time to focus on a missing person rather than combat crime (studies show missing persons can cost $36,000 a day in law enforcement labor). Knowing that 60% of people with Alzheimer’s wander – and 1 in 3 over age 85 will have Alzheimer’s – this becomes an increasing strain on law enforcement and families. Having technology that can find the person’s location – WITHIN 15 FEET – in a matter of seconds on our Theora Link Pro app and Theora ESP dashboard make all the difference in the world.
Most law enforcement agencies don’t have budget for these tech tools and ways to distribute – how does it work?
We have worked with law enforcement agencies and nonprofit organizations to find ways to underwrite the costs of the smartwatch and monthly subscription. Give us a call and we can discuss the options for deploying Theora Care as your virtual assistant in recovery of missing persons.
Does Theora Care do training for officers on how the technology works and also what to know in recovering those with Alzheimer’s, autism or other neurological-related issues?
We will work with you on individual department training needs for our technology – we also offer videos and webinars on how the technology works that you can access anytime on our website.
