The Abington Police Department recently shared a reminder regarding Take Me Home, a program launched in 2021 for those who may not be able to communicate with law enforcement because of physical and/or cognitive conditions (i.e., Autism, Alzheimer’s, Down Syndrome, etc.).

From their Facebook post:

Many of us at Abington Township Police Department have experienced these challenges firsthand with our own loved ones, and we know how critical it is for law enforcement officers to have immediate access to personal background information during an emergency. Time is of the essence, and this background information will help our officers to make informed decisions on how to peacefully intervene to avoid those actions that will likely trigger fear, anxiety, or even a violent response.

Those who register their conditions will provide officers will background information used to make informed decisions on how to peacefully intervene and interact.
