Safety Net

Protecting People and Locating the Lost

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office partners with SafetyNet, a program that helps ensure the safety and security of our most vulnerable citizens with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, autism, and other cognitive needs. If the client wanders from home, caregivers can call 911 and trained search teams will be activated to locate the client through their personal radio frequency.

To learn more about the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office SafetyNet Assistance program, please contact the Crime Prevention and Community Awareness Unit at 727-582-2222.

SafetyNet Tracking Systems may also be leased or purchased directly through SafetyNet. For more information and to enroll with SafetyNet, visit www.safetynettracking.com or call (877)434-6384.

Calling or texting 911 connects you to law enforcement, fire rescue, and EMS. Use 911 for any emergency, including crimes in progress, fires, critical medical situations, and serious vehicle crashes.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office also has a non-emergency number – 727-582-6200 – for crimes that are not in progress, and for general information. If you are unsure whether your situation is a true emergency, please call 911 and the call taker will determine if you need emergency assistance.
