At-Risk Registry Instructions
The Regional CARE Team At-Risk Registry is designed for the caregivers of individuals who have special needs and/or medical diagnoses:
• That cause the individual to wander or elope and become lost
• That have specific requirements when encountering law enforcement such as communication or comprehension differences, physical limitations, or medical risks.
Once submitted, this information is disseminated to the police department serving the city where the participant resides. The information is inputted into that police department’s in-car computer system so that it can inform responding police officers on how to safely interact with the participant and/or how to return the participant home if they become lost. If the participant moves or if something changes about the participant’s condition, the caregiver must notify the Regional CARE Team via email of the changes.
Please use the applicable email address:
For participants living in Cedar Hill: careteam@cedarhilltx.com
For participants living in DeSoto: careteam@desototexas.gov
For participants living in Duncanville: careteam@duncanvilletx.com
Please fill out the application as completely as possible. (The information requested is required by law to issue a missing alert.) Please attach a recent picture of the participant. Make sure that it is recent, large and clear. Finally, please provide medical documentation of diagnosis as this is also required by law in order to issue a missing alert.
