Citizens who participate in this FREE program are automatically checked on by phone five days a week. On holidays, a live call or an automated call will be made around the same time each day. For the automated call, you will hear a message that asks for confirmation by pressing a key. If you can’t answer the telephone immediately, another call will be made shortly. If you do not respond to the second call, a third call will be made soon after. If the citizen does not answer at this time and designated a contact person on the application, a call will be made to that person, and the Sheriff's Office will dispatch a deputy to the member's residence to determine whether he or she is okay.

What if I know I'm not going to be at home?  Citizens have an opportunity to call the Sheriff's Office at 336-318-6689 to "check-out" for the day if they will not be at home when the call is made.
