This program is sponsored by Christiansburg/Montgomery Triad S.A.L.T Council and Christiansburg Police Department. For more information, please contact David Wall, Crime Prevention Specialist at (540) 382-3131 . PROJECT LIFESAVER Additional Information: Project Lifesaver is designed as a rapid response search and rescue service, using state of the art technologies and strategies to prevent or reduce the potential of harm to individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s, Downs Syndrome, Autism, traumatic brain injuries, and mental dysfunctions. These individuals may tend to wander away from their homes and become confused or lost. Individuals who join Project Lifesaver are equipped with a small-personalized radio transmitter that is worn on a wristband. When a participant wanders away, the caregiver will contact our office and a trained team will respond to conduct a search with a device designed to receive the person’s transmitted signal. The average rescue time is approximately 22 minutes once the team is on site. For more information on Project Lifesaver please contact: Nathan Delp, CPD Crime Prevention Specialist, (540) 382-3131, Master Deputy Chris Lucas (540) 382-6915 ext. 44415. VIN ETCHING Co–sponsored by: Christiansburg Recreation Dept., Christiansburg Police Dept., Christiansburg Fire Dept. and Virginia State Police Location: Christiansburg Fire Dept. Additional Information: All vehicles carry a federally-assigned number known as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Making sure those numbers are marked permanently on a vehicle’s windows steers thieves away. The windows of stolen VIN etched vehicles must be stripped and replaced before a thief can get rid of the car, a costly and time-consuming process. VIN etching is simple, fast, safe and won’t mar the look of the vehicle. Numbers are etched into the glass with a chemical solution and those numbers will be there for good. Date Time TR/NR Monday, Oct. 1 3 – 6:30 p.m. FREE SHRED–A–THON Location: Christiansburg Recreation Center parking lot Additional Information: Help prevent identity theft, shred unwanted documents and protect your personal information. For more information contact Tammy Caldwell, (540) 382-2349 ext. 2003 or email: tcaldwell@christiansburg.org. This is a drive thru event, no walk-ups will be allowed.
