The Apex Police Department “Community Well-Check Program” was started in 2020 as a program to help with the day-to-day safety and well-being of community residents who live alone in the city limits of the Town of Apex. The program is designed to provide additional support for seniors, persons with medical disabilities, or persons who have special needs.
This program provides an automatic daily check by phone for the participant. If the participant does not respond to the automatic check by phone, the Apex Police Department will contact the emergency contact for the participant. If no contact can be made with the participant or their emergency contact, the Apex Police Department will dispatch an officer to the participant’s address in an attempt to make contact with the participant to ensure they are safe.
