Peel Regional Police has a Vulnerable Persons' Registry (VPR) that helps police and the community locate missing people. The registry allows the caregivers and/or parents of vulnerable people to submit vital information that will be used by emergency services during a crisis situation (e.g. person is missing, hostile behavior, etc.)
Who Can Register
Those eligible to participate are people who because of a medical (e.g. Alzheimer's diseases, Autism Spectrum Disorder, brain injury, etc.), mental health or physical condition may pose a danger to themselves and/or others.
The most common types of people who sign up for this registry include but are not limited to the following:
- Elderly who have a tendency to wander.
- Those with an inability to communicate because of a mental health or other illness.
- Those with strong fascinations or attractions (water, construction sites, etc.).
- Those with poor social responses (fear of strangers, aggression).
How to Register
To register online, you must provide the following for the person being registered:
- Name.
- Date of birth.
- Physical descriptors (e.g. scars, birthmarks etc.).
- Contact information.
- Special needs.
- Methods of approach if found.
- Objects of attraction that will aid in drawing the person in.
- Two pictures: a photo of the person’s face, from the shoulders up and a full body photo, which may show any assistive devices: cane, walker, wheelchair, etc.
