Are You OK Program

The Arlington Police Department's "Are You OK?" Program is designed to check on the well-being of elderly Arlington residents 65 years of age and older who may be vulnerable.

Participants receive a weekly phone call from a trained Arlington PD volunteer on a set day of the week. The volunteers will ask the participant about their welfare and identify any concerns such as needing a ride to an appointment, being low on food, or other possible safety issues.

The volunteers will provide participants with guidance and support, and if necessary, can contact the participant's listed emergency contact. In urgent situations, they can also transfer the call to 911 for immediate attention.

You can register for this free program by clicking on the button below and filling out the form.
