WANDERING
PERSON REGISTRY
 Is
a joint project of the Alzheimer Society for Halton-Wentworth
and
the Hamilton-Wentworth Police.
THE
GOALS Of the Regional Registry Program Are…
-
To
allow the Hamilton – Wentworth Regional Police ready
access to information that helps in the search for
or identification of a lost or wandering person.
-
To
reduce the anxiety and risks of those who are lost
and those who are caring for them.
How
It Works…
The registration of persons with
Alzheimer Disease and related disorders is entirely voluntary
and free of cost.
Family members and institutions
may contact the Alzheimer Society to register the person
with Alzheimer Disease for the Wandering Person Registry.
Information about appearance,
behavioural characteristics, and contacts will be registered
on the computer with the Hamilton – Wentworth Police Department
and will be available to officers throughout the region,
to assist wandering persons and their caregivers.
