The Huntsville Police Department is pleased to offer the community a helpful new service to give greater peace of mind to our city’s senior and special needs population, their families, and caregivers.  From time to time, our officers are called upon to assist a lost senior citizen or dependant person.  Often these individuals are disoriented and unable to remember their names or where they live.  They sometimes experience a long wait while the officers attempt to identify them and return them to their home.  Citizens of Huntsville can now register a family member with the police department by providing personal information, medical information, emergency contact numbers for relatives, and a photograph of the registrant.  This will greatly aid the police department should an Alzheimer’s or special needs person become missing or be found by the police and be unable to provide information.   

To register a special needs person of ANY age, please complete and mail the special needs registry form to the Huntsville Police Department, 1220 11^th Street, Huntsville, TX 77340.  You may print the form below or pick up from any of the following locations:  The Huntsville Police Department, 1220 11th St. The Senior Center of Walker County 119 hwy 75 N, The Heritage Program through Huntsville Memorial Hospital, 110 Memorial Hospital Drive, or Tri-County Mental Health/Mental Retardation Services, 7045 Hwy 75 S.  If you would like you may phone 936-291-5480 and we will mail the form to your location.

All information will remain confidential and will only be accessed by law enforcement to locate or return a loved one.

The Huntsville Police Department strives to continue to provide quality service and protection for the citizens of our city.  For additional information and registration form, please contact Sgt. James Fitch at jfitch@huntsvilletx.gov or call 936-291-5480.
