First responders will soon receive some assistance when helping find missing people after the launch of the Knoxville Police Department's Take Me Home Program. The new program allows individuals to enroll family members with cognitive and developmental disabilities in a registry that first responders can use when people go missing or are found wandering alone. The registry will include each person's emergency contact information, physical description and a photo. All information is confidential and can only be accessed by first responders and public safety personnel, Knox News reports.
