Sergey Sokolovsky, chief executive officer of VMG of Chicopee and Holyoke, has donated $5,000 to fund electronic search and rescue membership and equipment from the Hampden County Sheriff’s Office, thanks to the efforts of Chloe Soto, communications and special projects director for the city of Chicopee. The equipment will aid authorities in finding family members with dementia, Alzheimer’s or mental disabilities who are prone to wandering.
The equipment, equipped with radio frequency band technology, will allow law enforcement to quickly locate and safely return individuals who may elope and become lost.
