Bradley County Sheriff Eric Watson has announced the formation of an Alzheimer’s Directory for the use of officers and staff at BCSO.
At the request of family members, a senior assist officer will respond to a residence to take a photograph of and collect information for the log book that will easily describe a family member with Alzheimer’s disease. This is a free service from the Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Watson stresses all information, including the family member’s photograph will remain strictly confidential until such time there is a need to assist law enforcement personnel to identify and return them home safely in the event the family member wanders away. Periodically, a volunteer officer will make an appointment to visit the home, to check on the loved-one.
Sheriff Watson encourages anyone who has a loved-one with Alzheimer’s disease to contact the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office at 728-7313, to find out more about this free public service.
