Hobart Safety Call Network

Hobart PD
Hobart seniors who live alone, are disabled, or who are home bound, are encouraged to register for a program designed to provide them with a daily telephone call to check in on them. For registration forms, either call or stop by the Hobart Police Department. 
To get started...
1. Seniors residing or visiting Hobart must complete all enrollment/registration to become a
member. Registration includes contact information, any medical information they wish to
inform the police department of, friend/family contacts (for emergency use), and doctor
contacts.
2. Once enrolled, a representative from the public relations division or a volunteer will place a call
to each person enrolled.
3. When the telephone is answered, the representative/volunteer will verify the well-being of the
person. If the volunteer receives a busy signal, they will automatically retry the number at
specified intervals.
4. If no answer is received, alert procedures will go into effect. Emergency contacts will be notified
and an officer will go to the residence and check on their wellbeing. (For these situations a key
may be kept on file at the police department upon the members request)
