Ripon families with a loved one that is elderly, autistic, or has other conditions that would place them at-risk if they wander away and become disoriented may take advantage of the Ripon Police Department’s Wandering Persons Database to provide critical information and a photo of their loved one. This information will be stored in a secure, confidential database at the Ripon Police Department and would be made available to law enforcement and first-responders if needed to assist them in locating your loved one. This is a free program.
You may download a copy of the Wandering Persons Registration form, or pick up a copy of the form in the Ripon Police Department lobby.
