Guardian Program
"Residents with special needs family members can have peace of mind during times of crisis thanks to the Burleson Police Department’s new Guardian Program.
The Guardian Program is a voluntary, and free, registry for those who may be unable to communicate basic personal information due to a diagnosed cognitive disorder, or are prone to wander away or run away from guardians, home, or school due to a diagnosed medical disorder. Special needs include Autism, Alzheimer's, dementia, or some other mental/intellectual disability.
Parents/guardians of a special needs child or adult voluntarily submit a completed application and photo with all required medical information at registration."
