ALLENSTOWNElderly database

■Just In Case Program - Safety Net for Elderly and Vulnerable Community Members. The Just In Case Program is a comprehensive town-wide registry of elderly vulnerable community members of dementia, autism, and more. The Program functions as an emergency tool in the event that an individual wanders and becomes lost or disoriented. Allenstown and Pembroke Police officials may then refer to the Just In Case database for easy identification in order to provide a quick and safe return of that individual. This information will be kept in both the Allenstown and Pembroke Police database and remain confidential. Family, friends, and caregivers interested in registering someone in the Just in Case database may do so by contacting: Allenstown Officer Hannah Higgins at hhiggins@allenstownnh.gov or 603 485-9500; or Pembroke Lieutenant Dawn Shea at dshea@pembroke-nh.com or 603 485-9173 x2205.
