The Sheriff’s Operation Safeguard (SOS) program was introduced by Sheriff Steve Prator to help identify and reunite lost, memory-impaired persons with their families.

How S. O. S. works . . .

Confidential information about registered participants will be maintained in a database on our primary computer system. Each participant is given a bracelet that displays the phone number for the Sheriff's Office and an identification number. In the event that the a registered memory-impaired patient becomes lost or confused, the telephone number can be called to notify the appropriate personnel. The I.D. number will allow us to retrieve information from the S. O. S. database to arrange for safe return.
