It is called the “Take Me Home Program.”

The Junction City Police Department recently adopted it and plans to implement it.

Police Captain Chuck Leithoff said it was developed by the Pensacola, Florida Police Department. “They saw a need for it, and one of their officers developed it. He makes itfree of charge to other law enforcement agencies, so we’re going to try to implement that here.”

“Take Me Home” is a database developed for people who may need special assistance if they are alone or in times of emergency. That kind of assistance may be required if the person is unable to speak or properly identify themselves, if they become disoriented or act in a manner that could be misinterpeted by first responders.

The system includes a current digital picture, demographic information and caregiver contacts.
