Program Purpose
The Safe and Sound program has been implemented to assist individuals who are unable to communicate and who lose the ability to recognize familiar places or faces. Such as individuals who are mentally challenged and those afflicted with Alzheimer’s, Dementia, or Autism will benefit greatly.
There are people who wander away from locations that are familiar to them and become scared, disoriented and lost. This program has been developed to help those who are reported missing and to ease the stress on a caregiver. Too often we read in the newspaper, that someone with an average description gets lost and is unable to be located. This program will benefit the family, police, and the victim. Families will know that a plan has been put into effect to help locate their loved one. The Woodbridge Police realize that time is of the essence when locating a missing person, who is unable to care for themselves.
Mission
It is the mission of the Woodbridge Police Department to expedite the return of your loved one, which can reduce the stress on both the missing person as well as the caregiver. Safe and Sound Program gives officers direct access while on patrol to vital information including a digital photograph. This information can be displayed on a mobile laptop computer inside a police vehicle within minutes should a person be located or is reported missing.
