Kentucky considers Golden Alert system for Alzheimer’s patients

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — When Roger J. Wenzel disappeared last year, Louisville police began a search for the 73-year-old Alzheimer’s patient.

Problem was Wenzel wasn’t in Louisville. He was in nearby Elizabethtown, driving the wrong way in the southbound lanes of Interstate 65. He died in a crash with two other vehicles.

The frequency of such incidents has some advocates in Kentucky calling for a Golden Alert system, modeled after the Amber Alert system for missing children, to notify authorities when Alzheimer’s victims wander off.

Anyone with a scanner (including Dangle-Schaf to the left) can attest to the fact that law enforcement and emergency services have a pretty efficient and robust communications system.

Feel good laws by lawmakers.
Soon we will be so numbed to "Alerts" and such,
nobody will pay attention.

How about welfare check distribution alert?
Aircheck? You'd make a great board op.

How about the missing mail man alert because he or she didn't deliver the welfare check early in the day.
