Senior Watch Program Application

The Meridian Township Police Department offers three programs for senior citizens who may live alone and need occasional check-ins:

Check-In Program
Elderly Call program
Senior Watch Program

These programs were created for seniors, but are available to anyone who may need assistance. More information about each program, as well as the application to signup, is available below.

Check-In Program:

The Check-In Program involves the resident deciding on a day and time that they will call the police department and check in with them. If they do not contact the department on the scheduled day and time, an officer will call them or stop by to check if everything is okay.

Elderly Call Program:

The Elderly Call Program consists of designated days and times that the police department will call the residents' homes to check on their welfare. If no contact is made, an officer will be sent to the home to check if everything is okay.

Senior Watch Program:

The Senior Watch Program is for people who may need more assistance than others. These community members may not have family or friends nearby to check on them, and that's where we can fill the gap. For this program, a police officer or designated volunteer will visit the resident once a week (or more) to check on their welfare.

Application Process:

Once the application has been received, the department will contact the resident to set up a schedule based on the program they chose.
As part of the application process, a site evaluation of the resident's home will be completed by a police officer. This evaluation will help determine any safety concerns or special requirements needed at the residence.
For questions, please contact the department's non-emergency line at 517.853.4800.
