CORINTH POLICE LAUNCH FIND MY HOME PROGRAM

CORINTH, TX, October 5, 2023 - On Thursday, September 21, 2023 the Corinth Police Department unveiled a new program for the communities of Corinth and Shady Shores called "Find My Home." Find My Home is a program for people who need special assistance if they are alone or lost and are unable to speak or properly identify themselves. The program was originally geared toward people suffering from dementia, or have had a stroke, or other similar health issues that make it difficult or impossible for them to properly identify themselves.

Find My Home has since expanded to include children with intellectual or cognitive disabilities, or those on the autism spectrum who are non-communicative. The program utilizes a current photo of the individual along with demographic and caregiver information. The caregiver simply enters their loved one's information into an application online and submits. The Police Department receives the information and has it on file for future reference if ever an incident occurs where it is needed. The Find My Home database is searchable by name, address, and physical characteristics, which assists officers when they find a person who needs help and in the event caregivers alert police they need help locating their loved one.

Find My Home is a free program exclusively for Corinth and Shady Shores residents. You can register online by visiting cityofcorinth.com/findmyhome, or by visiting the Corinth Police Department at 3501 FM 2181, Suite A to fill out an application. To complete registration, the applicant must provide a recent photo of the person they are wishing to enroll in the program.

If you wish to receive more information about the Find My Home Program, please contact Captain Jimmie Gregg at (940) 279-1503 or jim.gregg@cityofcorinth.com.
