File of Life

The File of Life is a red plastic envelope, approximately 3 inches by 5 inches with a magnetic strip on the back, in which you place important medical information, such as; medications, medical history, etc. on a standardized form. The File of Life is then placed on the front of your refrigerator door.

This information will assist responding personnel with previous medical history, medications, allergies, and other related information.

Safe Return

The Truro Police Department, TRIAD, and the Truro Council on Aging are making a new program called SAFE RETURN available to the community.  This program is set up to assist those people that have memory impairments such as Alzheimer's.

SAFE RETURN is a 24 hour a day database registry operated by Alzheimer's Association.  To register, you or a family member may call the Truro Council on Aging at (508) 487-2462. After you are registered a member of the Truro Police Department will follow up with you and your family.

For more information on SAFE RETURN, please contact the Truro Council on Aging, or Communications Supervisor Heidi Dyer at the Truro Police Department at (508) 487-8730.


Limited Number of Gunlocks Available

 

Project ChildSafe is a new program developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation and funded by a U.S. Dept. of Justice grant to ensure safe and responsible firearms ownership.  The goal of this Project is to prevent a loaded gun from being left unattended in a place where a child may find it.

Millions of gunlocks are being distributed nationwide through this grant.  The Truro Police Department has a limited quantity.  If you are a Truro resident, and need a gunlock, you can obtain them in person between the hours of 8AM and 2PM weekdays.  These locks cannot be installed unless, in most cases, the weapon is unloaded, thereby adding an extra level of safety.

For more information, contact Lieutenant John Lundborn  or S/Sgt David Costa at the Truro Police Department.
