JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says a 76-year-old man who went missing earlier this month was found and returned home quickly thanks to its free tracker program.
The Missing Persons Unit says the man’s family reached out right away, and because he was enrolled in the program, officers were able to locate him without delay.

The tracker program is designed for people who may wander, including those living with Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Autism, or other conditions.
It gives officers valuable information to respond faster in critical situations.
