| The Santa Monica Police Department is pleased to offer the community a helpful service to give greater peace of mind to our city's senior citizens and dependent adults, their families, and caregivers.
|
| From time to time, our officers are called upon to assist a lost senior citizen or dependent adult. Often, these individuals are disoriented and unable to remember their names or where they live. They sometimes experience a long wait while the officers attempt to identify and return them to where they belong.
|
| The Senior Adult Identification Registry program was created to provide Santa Monica Police Officers access to a database to perform searches for characteristics that match those of the lost person. If registered, the person can quickly be identified, saving time, and allowing for a prompt return of the person to the safety and comfort of their home, or to their caregiver.
|
| Information contained in the registry is strictly confidential and for the exclusive use of the Santa Monica Police Department.
|
| The Senior Adult Identification Registry is an entirely voluntary program.
|
To register a senior or dependent adult, please complete and mail the
Registry Information Form to the Santa Monica Police Department. |
| A current photograph is requested to accompany the form, the photograph will be returned after it is scanned into the registry. If a photograph is unavailable, or for additional information, please contact
Ana Montalvo, project coordinator, at (310) 458-8774
or via
e-mail. |
