Sagadahoc Sheriff's Department Daily Telephone Check-in Program

Do you live alone? The Good Morning Program might help provide peace of mind and it’s free and local. Call the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Department 443-8201 to register. Upon completion of the application, you call the department each day by 10 a.m. (at a number they will provide) and leave a message saying you are ok.  If they haven’t heard from you by then, they will call you and if they can’t reach you, they will come to your home to make sure you are o.k. This free service is available to Georgetown seniors who live alone.
