CHECKS: The Patrol will check your home regularly while you are
away on vacation, providing you with peace of mind knowing that your
home is being checked by trained personnel.

ALONE: The Department's YANA ("You Are Not Alone") program
ensures a weekly personal visit from a Volunteer Patrol team and a
daily telephone call to disabled or home-bound senior citizens living

DIRECTORY is maintained at the San Marcos Sheriff's Station. Volunteer
personnel will come to your residence and take a photograph and description

in identifying and returning the citizen to his or her home should
he or she wander away and become disoriented.
