The Bristol County Sheriff’s Office Wants to Make Sure You Are OK
Here’s how it works:
Members of the Sheriff’s Office’s public programs team will call your home every day (weekends and holidays included) around the same time simply to check on you.
If no one picks up the first time, they’ll call back in a few minutes.
If no one picks up the second time, they’ll call a neighbor, friend, or emergency contact to go check on you.
If the emergency contact can’t locate you, the Sheriff’s Office will call your local police department for a wellness check.
