Its very important: Giles County deputies conduct Project Lifesaver training
GILES COUNTY, Va. Some local sheriffs deputies are trying to make sure they are prepared to find people who go missing. With what looks like a small TV antenna in hand, Giles County sheriffs deputies set off down a hill Thursday morning. Its very important to our community, Giles County Sheriff Morgan Millirons said of the deputies training. We do the training just to familiarize ourselves with the equipment, to make sure the equipment is running right. You dont forget how to do it, but you can always get better at it, Giles County Sheriffs Deputy Maj. Scott Moye said.
Giles County boy found thanks to Project Lifesaver
GILES COUNTY, Va. - A Giles County boy is safe with his family thanks to Project Lifesaver. The program allows people to be tracked if they wander away from home. "(A) little bit after 5 (Monday morning), a call came in that a person had wandered off, gotten out of a house," Giles County Sheriff Morgan Millirons said. About 30 minutes after the search began Monday morning for a missing boy in Narrows, he was found safe behind a building about two blocks away from his house. Millirons said the sheriff's office's Project Lifesaver tracking equipment worked perfectly.
