Take Me Home is a database that contains photos and characteristics of children who may have trouble communicating with law enforcement because of disabilities that impact their communication skills. Should officers encounter an individual who is unable to communicate basic information, such as name and where they live, a search can be executed based on characteristics to try and identify the individual. For details, call Laurie Cramer at (330) 643-8386 or visit www.co.summit.oh.us/Prosecutor/index.htm. The Web site also includes an online program registration form.
