Sheriff Harper reported on 04 February 2021:
As members of the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, we recognize that our community has a large senior population who live alone or have special needs.
Sheriff Harper has implemented a program within the Sheriff’s Office that is designed to provide our seniors and their families with a sense of security while respecting their independence. Once a consenting participate is registered, a Madison County Sheriff’s Office Communication’s Officer or designated volunteer will call each morning between the hours of 9 and 11 AM to check on their well-being.
If the call does not get answered after a couple of attempts, a deputy will be dispatched to respond to the address on file to check on the participant in person.
The caller will also reach out to the emergency contact or key holder if necessary. All information in the participation form will be kept completely confidential.
If you or someone you know would like to be a “Silver Star” or volunteer, please contact the Madison County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 973-4151 or Major Doug Haskell at (850) 253-3311.
Registration starts today and phone calls will begin February 22, 2021
