Massachusetts: Taunton Becomes 12th City to Adopt Silver Alert

The city of Taunton, Massachusetts became the 12th municipality in the Bay State to adopt a Silver Alert program to help find missing seniors.

From the article in the Taunton Daily Gazette:

The Silver City is now on board with a statewide pilot program to ensure that people with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia are quickly located if they somehow wander off by themselves.

A press conference with Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr. publicizing Taunton’s participation in the Silver Alert program was held Tuesday at The Arbors assisted-living residential facility on County Street.
