Return Home Safe
Form to fill out below
The Newport Police Department has developed the Return Home Safe Program. This program will assist in the safe and timely return of individuals who may wander and require police assistance to locate. Individuals at high risk for wandering include: children or adults with Autism, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Down Syndrome, and other various developmental disabilities.
The Return Home Safe Program will consist of a registry of these at-risk individuals, which will give officers quick and easy access to photos and pertinent information from their cruiser, therefore, assisting in locating your loved one if they should become lost or missing.
It is import to include key information on the Return Home Safe Program registration. Please include the individual's name, address, telephone number, current photo, mode of communication, key phrases to help reduce trauma, emergency contact information, and any other pertinent information. Please ensure the photograph is a head shot (shoulders up).
The Newport Police Department's most important responsibilities are serving and protecting our citizens. If you have any questions or comments regarding the Return Home Safe Program, please contact Community Policing Sergeant Jason Head at 401-847-1306 ext. 5726 or email ihead@cityofnewport.com.
