Mayor Kris Wyatt
I want to make you aware of a program that the Bristow Police Department is starting. “Are You OK?’ is a free program available to citizens residing within the city limits of Bristow. It provides a daily phone call to check on them and offers a sense of reassurance and security.
It works like this: a phone call is made each morning. If the call is answered, the resident is logged as “ok.” If, however after 3 attempts the call is not answered, an officer will be dispatched to the residence. If the officer arrives and the resident does not answer the door, the officer will enter the premises to check. For this reason, the resident must personally sign the enrollment application, giving law enforcement permission to enter their home.
Are You OK? is available to seniors or disabled residents living within Bristow city limits. Since the participant must sign the application, family members are not able to enroll their loved ones.
But, concerned family members should visit with them and encourage them to register.
This program is free. There is no charge to sign up and no charge to participate. More information can be obtained by calling City Hall at 918 3672237.
