The Mohave County Sheriff is proud to announce the rollout of the Take Me Home program. Search and Rescue has been instrumental in assisting the Sheriff in bringing this program to Mohave County. The program is free to any Mohave County resident who may have trouble communicating and is aimed at individuals with Autism, Down’s Syndrome, or developmental or cognitive disabilities. The program is also intended to assist senior citizens who have Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. This kind of assistance may be required if the person is unable to speak or properly identify themselves or if they become disoriented or act in a manner that first responders or law enforcement officers could misinterpret. There is no charge for citizens to enroll individuals. However, there is a responsibility and commitment to keep the system updated and current. Therefore, we require anyone registering an individual to be either a family member or legal guardian of the individual.
