Overview

Mission

To foster public recognition, support and understanding of the role of law enforcement in general and specifically the role of the suffolk county sheriffs office, and enhance community service programs on crime prevention, drug and alcohol awareness.

What it reported doing in 2024

Project lifesaverproject lifesaver is a rapid-response program that AIDS residents and their family members who wander because of cognitive impairments. The program combines technology and specially trained sheriff's deputies to locate individuals who have wandered away from the safety of their homes or loved ones. Project lifesaver clients wear a "watch-type" wristband transmitter (worn on the wrist, ankle, or as a necklace), which emits a tracking signal. When a caregiver calls the suffolk county sheriff's office project lifesaver line to report that a client has wandered, a specially trained search team responds to the wanderer's area and, while enroute, activates their vehicle's mobile locator tracking system. A hand-held unit is used to search for clients in areas inaccessible by vehicles.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
