Sheriff’s officials are crediting a special registry first launched a decade ago with helping reunite a disoriented 85-year-old man with his family soon after he was found wandering on a Poway street earlier this month.
The Take Me Home registry allows families to provide photos and emergency contact information for people with cognitive or developmental disabilities to help get them located faster if they turn up missing.
Officials say the voluntary program could be helpful for someone with dementia, autism or other conditions that could make them unable to communicate their name and address if they became lost. A county website calls the Take Me Home program “a safety net for the future” and says it can provide family members with peace of mind.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. Nearly six months since Gov. Gavin Newsom promised to target businesses that are flagrantly violating public health orders to control the spread of COVID-19, California regulators have issued just 424 citations and suspended two business licenses as of Monday, according to data from 10 state regulatory and law enforcement agencies.
Instead of strictly penalizing businesses for violations, the Democratic governor and businessman with a portfolio of wineries, bars and restaurants under the brand name PlumpJack, has relied on educating owners about infectious disease mandates. State agencies have contacted establishments primarily by email, sending them 1.3 million messages since July 1 to urge them to comply with state and local public health rules.
