Having a database available to identify individuals at risk

cruisers seemed very attractive to Chief McFadden Just a

few nights prior to their conversation in below zero

on a major road at two in the morning, in his pajamas

and slippers Thankfully, the man was willing to get into a

Good Samaritan’s car and was brought to the police

station It took several hours before the police could

unravel his identity His family was not even aware that

Having a database available to identify individuals at risk and provide it to the fingertips of the officers in their cruisers seemed very attractive to Chief McFadden Just a few nights prior to their conversation in below zero weather, a man in his eighties had been out wandering

on a major road at two in the morning, in his pajamas and slippers Thankfully, the man was willing to get into a Good Samaritan’s car and was brought to the police station It took several hours before the police could unravel his identity His family was not even aware that their loved one had gone missing as he had slipped out of the house unnoticed in the middle of the night

With this new database an officer in their cruiser, who has spotted someone out wandering, will be able to

instantly pull up a recent photo and key information of a

pre-registered individual including; the name the person

uses, what triggers or calms the person, and contact

information for parents, caregivers and/ or caseworkers

Family can be contacted immediately and the individual

will be spared the trauma of having to go to the police

station or the hospital emergency department

In another scenario, if a pre-enrolled person is reported

missing, the officer in the cruiser will have instant access

to all the information they would need, including a photo,

so they could immediately mobilize search efforts much

more effectively Seconds count in these situations and

often minutes, if not hours, are lost while officers attempt

to obtain needed information and photos of the person

For loved ones and caregivers this program provides an

added layer of security and peace of mind Few things are

more terrifying to parents of children with conditions like

autism, or those caring for their parents with Alzheimer’s,

than the thought of their loved one getting lost, and

knowing that they will not be able to find their way back

home, or to safety

Chief McFadden and Lee worked closely together in the

creation of the Belfast program, Lee serving many roles

including primarily as the community “tie-in” person

They are willing to help other police departments to set

up similar programs in their areas, including sharing the

process and materials that they created for this new

program Parents or family members can be of great

assistance to the police in getting a similar program off

the ground

The City of Belfast was able to get this program up and

running without any added expenditure of public

funds, by utilizing existing computer systems and staff,

and by collaborating with other local agencies Working as

partners with this program to identify individuals at risk

are many agencies including; Waldo County General

Hospital, Belfast Public Health Nurse, RSU 20, RSU 20

Special Education Department, Mid-Regional Child

Development Services, TRIAD, Broadreach Family and

Community services, Group Home Foundation, and

Harbor Hill Center

The program has since expanded county wide through the
