At Risk Person

The Old Town Police Department has established a means to organize and file names of community members who are afflicted with Alzheimer's, Dementia, Autism and other forms of illness. The purpose of this file is to help us locate caregivers and/or family members in the event a person/patient is found and they are unable to communicate to an officer or are confused as to where they belong. Also, if we should receive a report of a missing person/patient, we will already have the basic information and photo available to assist us in identifying the individual.

The Penobscot Regional Communication Center created a program in 2015 to help assist with this program, called the wandering program. It provides a critical network of real time information including a photograph to Law Enforcement, which assists in locating individuals prone to wander due to Autism, Alzheimer's, Dementia or other mental/medical conditions. To participate you MUST register your loved one. Registration is simple, FREE and takes just a few minutes. Information is secure and private. Saves valuable time when SECONDS count. Alerts officers to potential triggers and ways to calm the individual. You have two options to register. Please click the link below or contact our department to sign your loved one up.
