Blueberry Police Department - How to Request a Welfare Check
HOW TO REQUEST A WELFARE CHECK
A welfare check (also known as a wellness check) is when a police officer visits a location to check on the safety and well-being of an individual. The Blueberry Police Department is committed to ensuring the safety of all community members.
WHEN TO REQUEST A WELFARE CHECK
You may request a welfare check if you are concerned about someone who:
Has not been heard from in an unusual amount of time
Is not answering phone calls, texts, or knocks at the door
Has expressed thoughts of self-harm or suicide
May be in a medical emergency and is unable to call for help
Is elderly, disabled, or vulnerable and may need assistance
Has missed important appointments or obligations without explanation
You believe may be in danger or distress
INFORMATION TO PROVIDE
When requesting a welfare check, please have the following information ready:
Your name and contact information
The full name of the person you are concerned about
The address where the person is located
Your relationship to the person
The reason for your concern
When you last had contact with the person
Any medical conditions or special circumstances we should be aware of
Description of the person (if known)
HOW TO REQUEST A WELFARE CHECK
Emergency situations:
If you believe someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
Non-emergency requests:
Contact the Blueberry Police Department dispatch (Non-Emergency Number) or visit your local station.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Once a welfare check is requested, an officer will be dispatched to the location to assess the situation. The officer will attempt to make contact with the individual and verify their well-being. You may be contacted afterwards with an update, depending on the circumstances and privacy considerations.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Welfare checks are conducted as a community service and are not meant to be used for disputes or non-emergency matters.
Officers may not be able to disclose detailed information due to privacy laws.
If the individual is found to be safe, they will be informed that someone requested a check on their behalf.
Thank you for looking out for your fellow community members.
