Decatur Police use radio transmitting bracelet to locate lost or missing individuals
DECATUR, Ala. (WHNT) — The Decatur Police Department wants to remind the community of a resource they offer, known as Project Lifesaver. It's a search and rescue program targeted for individuals who have cognitive disorders such as Autism and Alzheimer's that may be prone to wander or get lost. Opening statements begin in trial of Decatur chiropractor charged with attempted murder of wife Decatur Police said the bracelet works through radio frequencies. 'The bracelets have radio transmitters in them, so in the event they get separated from their family, they transmit a radio frequency, and that just really closes in on the amount of time it takes to find them,' Irene Cardenas Martinez said. Martinez is the Public Information Liaison for the Decatur Police Department. When a client signs up for the program, they are given a radio frequency tracking number. That number sits inside the bracelet and inside their computer system. To qualify, they say an individual must: Have a caregiver with them at least 75% of the time. Wear the bracelet at all times. Never drive a vehicle at any time. If an individual is lost, they can enter that number into the Project Lifesaver device, and it tells them where they are located. DPD said there is no cost to enroll in the bracelet department. For more information to see if you or a loved one qualifies, you can call (256) 341-4600 or visit the Police Department's front desk.

Hanagan's Heroes monument to be relocated to Southside Veterans Park
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A monument honoring local men who served in the Vietnam War is being moved out of a troubled park on Binghamton's Southside. The City is relocating the Hanagan's Heroes marble monument from Southside Commons on South Washington Street to the Southside Veterans Park along Conklin Avenue next to the flood control wall. The memorial is based on a list that owner Bob Hanagan kept on the wall of Hanagan's Tavern honoring locals who served in the military, especially the Vietnam War. The Southside bar was demolished many years ago, and the sign was lost. So, former Broome County Executive Tim Grippen, who was himself injured in the war, led an effort to recreate the list in monument form, reminiscent of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. Sadly, Southside Commons has been plagued by vagrants, vandals, and drug users, prompting the city to remove the tables that were originally in the park. Two stone wings of the monument were vandalized and broken, and will be recreated after the memorial is moved. Meanwhile, the Southside Neighborhood Assembly is looking to create a new tribute to Hanagan and his list. It's working with the Department of Public Art to commission a three-dimensional mural on the concrete block wall behind where the monument currently stands.
