New Britain Borough

The New Britain Borough Police Department is a "community oriented" organization and is pleased to offer this FREE service to the residents of New Britain Borough. Our goal is to provide peace of mind for seniors who live alone or disabled residents who do not have daily contact with family or friends. How does the program work?"Are You Okay" is a telephone reassurance program for seniors or others who may need contacting on a regular basis due to health or mobility concerns. The program consists of a daily check-in phone call with the police. If a phone call is not received within the time that you specify, a phone call will be made to your home. If the police are still unable to contact you, calls will be made to your designated emergency contacts that you provide to us. If the police are still unable to locate you, a New Britain Borough Police Officer will be sent to your home to check on your well being. In the event that we are unable to contact you, the officer that responds to your home will need to enter your residence, by force if necessary, to check your welfare. You may wish to provide the police department with a key in the event of an emergency.
