Cumberland County Dementia & Autism Community Registry

In a first-of-its-kind pilot, Cumberland County is partnering with STS to allow communities to register loved ones with disorders impacting their mental capacity and development or those to prone to wandering to make it easier for public safety to identify individuals in their times of need and provide necessary assistance.

How Does It Work?

REQUEST ACCESS -- Scan the QR code to provide your name and email address to request access to the registry. Once added, complete a registry record via an email invitation. (See attachment below)

REGISTER SOMEONE -- Complete and submit registry record on loved one, to include facial photo, demographic information, emergency contact information, etc. You will be asked to verify and/or update this information annually.

INFORMATION REVIEW -- Your community's public safety department will review information and contact you with any questions.

PUBLIC SAFETY ENGAGEMENT -- If a public safety professional comes into contact with someone lost, wandering or confused who seems to need assistance, they will enter any identifying information into the registry app, including a facial photo, and submit to the database for possible matching.

IDENTIFY & ASSIST -- If the registry finds a match, the public safety professional will be able to view the individual's registry record with pertinent information to assist them and/or reunite them with their family or caregiver quickly and safely.
