Take Me Home Program
The Take Me Home program is a database maintained by the Waco Police Department Communications Division for adults and children who may have difficulty communicating due to a developmental or cognitive disability.
This database is only accessible to law enforcement personnel and may include a picture, with disability information, a physical description and emergency contact information for all registered individuals. If a person in the Take Me Home program is encountered by a police officer or deputy dispatched by Waco, personnel can access the database and quickly access critical information that may assist in communicating with the individual and a safe return to the caregiver.
