Synergy Children’s Therapy

Please, please, please…get your little ones and our kiddos with special needs registered!! ❤️🙏

Last night, our officers encountered a young man with disabilities near a lake in our community. He was unable to tell us where he lived, and our immediate priority became ensuring his safety and finding his family. After working through the night and following up on several leads, we were eventually able to locate his home and reunite him with his loved ones.

While the story had a happy ending, it highlighted something important: very few families in our area are registered in the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office Take Me Home Program.

The Take Me Home Program is a free, voluntary service designed to assist individuals who may have difficulty communicating, identifying themselves, or who are at risk of becoming disoriented or wandering. This includes individuals with conditions such as Autism, Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia, Down Syndrome, and other cognitive impairments.

The program utilizes a secure database containing a current photograph, demographic information, and emergency caregiver contacts. If law enforcement encounters someone who cannot communicate where they live, officers can quickly search the database using a name or physical description and help reunite that individual with their family. The system can also assist if a loved one goes missing by immediately providing officers with critical information and a current photograph.

Who is eligible?
Fort Bend County residents with a cognitive impairment or disability that may affect their ability to communicate and who may be at risk of wandering.

Participation is completely voluntary, and all information is kept confidential.

If you have a family member, friend, or loved one who may benefit from this program, we strongly encourage you to enroll them today. It could make all the difference during an emergency.

For more information, contact Sergeant Matthew Hricko at 281-341-8788 or email [email protected]. You may also visit this link for more information: https://www.fortbendcountytx.gov/government/departments/sheriff-s-office/programs/take-me-home

A few minutes spent registering today could help bring your loved one home safely tomorrow.

Such an awesome idea!!! 🩵

Today, we had the privilege of receiving a very special donation from the Kelley family, and we are incredibly grateful for their generosity and thoughtfulness.

Eric and his family donated Carter Kits to our department-resources specifically designed to help first responders better support individuals with autism during emergencies or moments of sensory overload. Each kit includes items such as a weighted blanket, fidget tools, sunglasses, and ear protection, all aimed at providing comfort and reducing stress in difficult situations.

What makes this donation even more meaningful is the inspiration behind it. Their son, Brantley, helped present the kits today. Brantley was diagnosed with nonverbal autism, and his strength and story are at the heart of this effort to make a difference for others in our community.

Because of the Kelley family’s generosity, our School Resource Officers and one patrol units will be better equipped to respond with care, understanding, and compassion.

Thank you, Brantley and the Kelley family, for giving back in such a powerful way. Your kindness will have a lasting impact on our officers and the community we serve.

Some of them hold my whole heart 🩷💙🧡🩵💚💜💛❤️
