Today, the Jacksboro Police Department was made aware of a scam circulating. Individuals are calling and claiming to be with the FCC. They are advising that you have violated communication rules on your phone. They then attempt to gain personal information.

REMEMBER: Federal agencies will not call and ask for personal information. They also will not call and advise you to call other places to give your personal information.

Stay alert and wise to scams!

In an emergency, every second matters. Make sure your house number is clearly visible from the street—day and night. Officers, fire, and EMS rely on those numbers to find you quickly when you need help.

TAKE ME HOME:

A voluntary, community-centered safety initiative developed to assist individuals who may be at risk of becoming disoriented or unable to return home independently.
This program is designed to support families and caregivers of individuals with:
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Dementia
• Cognitive, developmental, or neurological conditions
• Any medical or behavioral characteristic that may impair memory, orientation, or communication

The core mission of Take Me Home is rapid identification, compassionate response, and safe reunification.

* This program reduces response and search times
* Enhances officer preparedness and situational awareness
* Minimizes stress and trauma for vulnerable individuals
* Strengthens trust between law enforcement and the community

How the Program Works:

• Families or caregivers voluntarily complete a confidential signup form with the Jacksboro Police Department.
• The form includes critical identifying and care-related information such as:
o Physical description and recent photograph
o Medical or cognitive conditions
o Communication abilities and behavioral triggers
o Emergency contact and caregiver information
o Known routines, frequent locations, or calming strategies
• Information is securely maintained by the Jacksboro Police Department and used only during emergencies or welfare concerns.

Participation in the Take Me Home Program is entirely voluntary.
• There is no cost to participate
• Individuals may be enrolled or withdrawn at any time
• Information is never shared outside of law enforcement necessity
• The program respects personal dignity, privacy, and autonomy
This initiative exists to support families—not to monitor or restrict individuals.

This initiative reflects the Jacksboro Police Department’s commitment to public safety, inclusion, and responsible stewardship of community trust.

Any questions should be directed to the Jacksboro Police Department.
