CHARLES COUNTY  

The Charles County Sherriff’s Office has launched a Voluntary Registry Program with the goal of providing law enforcement with identifying information for individuals with Autism or developmental disabilities.

The program is intended for:

  • Individuals who may be unable to respond appropriately or identify themselves to law enforcement
  • Individuals who may wander as a symptom of a disability and get lost
  • Individuals who are nonverbal or unable to communicate

This voluntary program gives citizens an opportunity to provide law enforcement with pertinent information ahead of time about their loved one(s) should they become involved in an incident where officers are present.  Information provided may include but is not limited to the individual’s

  • Name and Address
  • Contact Number
  • Physical attributes such as height, weight, hair and eye color, and other identifying characteristics
  • Recent photo
  • Triggers such as bright lights and noises

Any Charles County citizens who are interested in submitting information for the Voluntary Registry Program are asked to contact Officer Graham by phone at (301) 609-6233 or by email at  [email protected]
