Take Me Home

In the event an enrollee is contacted, and an officer has reason to believe they may be a candidate for Take Me Home, the officer can access our database to identify the person and better assist them. If there is a match to our database, an emergency contact will be notified immediately to let them know their loved one has been found.

If a loved one enrolled in Take Me Home goes missing call 911 as soon as you can and inform the police dispatcher of the individual’s enrollment in Johnson County Sheriff’s Office Take Me Home program. Please note that we also share this information with agencies that we do not dispatch for such as Overland Park, Shawnee, Lenexa, Leawood, and Prairie Village.

We will attempt to contact you each year via email or phone to maintain up to date information on the person you have enrolled. For children or elderly, we request an updated photo each year as physical appearance can change dramatically. Otherwise, photos for adults can remain the same as long as it is an accurate representation of their current appearance.

Any child OR adult who may have difficulty communicating due to a developmental or cognitive disability, while lost or in an emergency-situation. These individuals tend to be at risk for wandering and may include people with disabilities such as Alzheimer's, Autism, Dementia, Down syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), etc.

We ask that anyone enrolling an individual be either a family member, legal guardian or is turning in a signed registration form on behalf of the individual's family with their permission.

Individuals who do NOT qualify for enrollment include people with ONLY physical disabilities, hearing impairment, vision impairment, anyone who can communicate via translator/interpreter and children who have not reached a developmentally appropriate age for speech. If you have a question about an individual’s condition pertaining to our criteria contact a Take Me Home administrator at 913-782-0720 or email us. 

The easiest way to enroll an individual is through our online registration page.  Submissions through our online registration will go directly to our Take Me Home administrators to enter into the database.
