Miami Township, Ohio – The Miami Township Police Department is a participant in the national Take Me Home program. This program was originally developed by the Pensacola (Florida) Police Department for people who may have trouble communicating who they are, where they live, or what type of assistance they may need. Once the individual’s Take Me Home record has been located, the first responder has the information at hand to appropriately assist the person.

If your loved one wanders off and is in the Take Me Home program, their police officers, firefighters, and paramedics will all have immediate access to emergency information for the individual. The first responders will readily have a picture so will know what your loved one looks like while searching for them.

In the past, any first responder responding to a scene of a missing person has had to coordinate with other first responders to see a picture of who they are looking for. This program gets this information to them quicker, saving precious time and, possibly, making the difference between a good outcome and a bad outcome.

If the first responders happen to locate someone who is unable to communicate who they are or where they live, they are able to search the program using what demographic information they know (age range, gender, etc.). If the subject is in the system, they will be able to identify them by their picture and will immediately have emergency contact information, a current address, and will be able to return them to you.

There are very few requirements to have your loved ones entered into the program. The child or adult needs to live in or visit Miami Township, and would have difficulty communicating due to a developmental or cognitive disability while lost or in an emergency situation.

These individuals tend to be at risk for wandering and may include those with disabilities such as Alzheimer’s, Autism, Dementia, Down Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, etc.

If you have a loved one who you feel would benefit from being in the Take Me Home program, visit MiamiTwpOH.gov/pd. You will need to fill out a form and submit it with a digital picture.
