Case Study: Bergen County Sheriff’s Office improves public safety and family peace of mind with AngelSense

Bergen County Sheriff’s Office reduces emergency calls with AngelSense

The Bergen County Sheriff's Office served a large community with families impacted by autism and dementia and faced a significant challenge with wandering and elopement incidents. They previously relied on Project Lifesaver, which required specialized equipment and law enforcement activation for every search, leaving families with no real-time access to their loved one's location and creating a heavy burden on emergency services. They partnered with vendor AngelSense to find a better solution.

AngelSense provided an AI-powered GPS tracking solution featuring a wearable device with real-time location monitoring, proactive alerts, and a two-way speakerphone. This empowered families to resolve most incidents themselves before needing to call for help. The solution led to a measurable decrease in emergency calls and a significant reduction in resource strain for the Sheriff's Office, allowing officers to focus on other duties while improving family confidence and strengthening community trust.
