Citizen Welfare Check

A free service to the community, the Vidalia Police Department eases the concern of friends and family who may find it difficult to maintain consistent, reliable contact, through the use of personal telephone contact.  Elderly citizens who want the independence of living alone in thier home, along with the security of being monitored, can sign up for the service by filling out the form and sending it to the Vidalia Police Dept.

Each day at a pre-arranged time, the Vidalia Police Department calls the telephone number according to the form submitted.  If no answer is given, an officer will provide an in-person check.
