Police Department: Disability Registry Program
The Forest Grove Police Department offers a registry program for individuals with memory or communicative impairment. The registry is voluntary and individuals may withdraw at any time.
Purpose of the program:
The Forest Grove Police Department wants to be as prepared as possible in the event that a memory challenged individual becomes disoriented or gets lost within the community. These situations can be traumatic for the individual and their families or guardians and we want to do everything possible to ensure the individual is returned home as soon as possible. For communicatively challenged individuals, the registry program offers the reassurance that an officer contacting the individual may have some knowlege of the special needs of the individual and thus allows the officer to respond consistent with those needs.
How to register:
- The individual or their legal guardian must complete the application completely.
- If the individual is an adult being registered by a legal guardian, guardianship papers must be included.
- The waiver must be fully completed and signed.
- Submit the fully completed application and waiver to the Records Divsion of the Forest Grove Police Department.
Registration information:
- The participant or their guardian must notify the Department of any change of address, emergency contact information, or the participant's need for the program.
Registration information will be confidential:
All information in this system is governed by Oregon Public Records Law. Your registration information is treated as confidential and not subject to disclosure under the Public Records law to outside businesses; it may be released to public agencies (i.e., other law enforcement agencies, Department of Human Services, etc) consistent with applicable laws and/or regulations.
