The Safe Return Program is a voluntary, local, photo-based program designed to assist officers during contacts with members of the Albany community who have disabilities and ensure their safe return home.
Sign up a dependent or loved one today!
This program provides law enforcement with emergency contact information, detailed physical descriptions, physical address, a photograph(s) of the individual, known routines, favorite attractions, behaviors, and/or special needs of the individual. The information can assist in communicating with, locating a residence for, or handling an emergency involving an individual with special needs when law enforcement contact is made. It is intended for those with developmental and intellectual disabilities such as, but not limited to:
- Alzheimer's or Dementia
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Down Syndrome

The Albany Police Department has created two "Safe Exchange Zone" spots located in our parking lot at 2600 Pacific Boulevard SW. Both are under 24/7 video surveillance. They provide residents a safe, alternative location for private party transactions including online purchases and for child custody transfers instead of meeting a stranger at a private residence or unfamiliar location.
Safe Exchange Zone Tips:
- No appointments are necessary when using the Safe Exchange Zone.
- Police personnel will not assist with any transactions.
- The Safe Exchange Zone is meant for person-to-person transactions. Property may not be dropped off and left unattended.
- The Safe Exchange Zone is not a drop off where parents can leave children for a later pick-up time. All exchanges must be person-to-person.
- Sellers are required to take their property with them if the buyer does not show up.
- Only conduct transactions with local buyers/sellers.
- Do not go to a transaction alone.
- Make sure a friend or family member is aware of the details.
- Complete the transaction during daylight hours.
- Be extra cautious in buying/selling valuable items.
- Only use cash or money orders.
- Trust your instincts; if it sounds like a scam it probably is a scam.
- If someone is not willing to come to the Albany Police Department to complete a sale, it is probably not a legitimate transaction.
