Contact Information
Who We Are
Smyth County Sheriff's Office offers a telephone reassurance program, Operation Safety, designed to give a daily welfare call to senior citizens in the county. This program identifies those that live in our community who are seniors that do not have family or neighbors that routinely check on their welfare. Once they are identified, certain emergency contact information is obtained from the senior along with other important information. This information is then passed to volunteers, who will call the senior citizens twice a day.
If a senior citizen is unreachable, the volunteer will notify the Sheriff's Office and an officer is dispatched to investigate. It is our desire that this will prevent seniors from not having anyone to assist them in a time of need.
