Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh is partnering with the Summit County Sheriff's Office on a county-wide initiative to better support those with disabilities who may need extra help communicating in an emergency situation. The Take Me Home program allows for the rapid identification and safe return of citizens who are unable to adequately communicate vital information to law enforcement officers. Those who are registered in this program are placed in a database that officers can access via radio and sometimes laptops in their cruisers. The database is accessible only to law enforcement personnel. Learn more about this program by downloading the
program brochure,
registration form and
parent letter. For more information, contact Leslie Knoblauch at 330.643.2800 (
