The Take Me Home Program is a voluntary registry offered by the Collin County Sheriff's Office. It helps first responders quickly identify and safely assist individuals who may become lost, disoriented, or need help during an emergency. The program allows families and caregivers to share important information in advance so first responders can better assist when time matters.
Who the Program Is For

This may include individuals with:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Down syndrome
- Developmental or intellectual disabilities

How the Program Helps
