Are You OK?

Are You OK is a nationwide program designed to check on the well-being of elderly individuals, disabled persons, or anyone in the community who may need to be checked on by a law enforcement officer. The officer will call the applicant once a month and ask “Are you ok?”. If the answer is yes, then the officer can end the call. If a concern is expressed, the officer can determine the nature of the concern and if a response is needed. Unanswered calls may result in an officer responding to the location for a welfare check.
