TAKE ME HOME NOW ONLINE

March 25, 2015 (San Diego’s East County) - It's a situation no one ever wants to go through. A loved one suffering from Alzheimer's Disease or another physical or mental disability gets lost or wanders away from home.

The Sheriff's Take Me Home Program is a FREE and CONFIDENTIAL service that can help deputies and other law enforcement officers locate an at-risk missing person. And now, you can register online by going to the Sheriff's website: www.sdsheriff.net/tmh (that’s TMH as in Take Me Home)

The Take Me Home Program is a database accessible by all law enforcement agencies in San Diego County. In the event an at-risk person who is registered gets lost or wanders away, deputies can obtain important information such as photographs, physical descriptions and emergency contacts from the Take Me Home Program database.

During the early stages of a missing person search, information provided by the Take Me Home Program can prove critical in locating a loved one. Deputies will know what the missing person looks like and what places they might have gone to. If a loved one can't communicate very well, deputies will know what to call them to get their attention while searching for them.

In the past, you'd have to print out an application and take it to your nearest Sheriff's facility to register a loved one for the Take Me Home Program. Now, all you have to do is go online to register and upload photos and other personal information to the Sheriff's secure website.
