Story notes:

Murray Police Department celebrated today the first anniversary of an innovative program.

The program is for senior citizens – usually persons 65 and older, although any person who lives alone and is over the age of 55 can participate if that person wants to do so.

Program is called “Project Reassurance.”

Each day, elderly people who participate in the program call Dorothy Morovchek, a clerk, and two aids at the police department between the hours of 7 and 9 AM.

If they do not call by 9”15 a.m., Miss Morovchek will dispatch a police officer to the personâ€s home to determine whether the person is safe.

The officers have a key to each participantâ€s home so they do not have to break their way in.

Since the program started last Nov., Miss Morovchek says it has saved three lives, including the life of a woman who police officers found lying on the kitchen floor of her home after having suffered a heart-attack before she was able to call the police in the morning.

Alltogether, a total of 318 persons in Murray participate in the program at the current time, and police say they will not impost any limitations on the number of participants in the future. Miss Morovchek adds that the elderly like the program for a second reason as well, since many feel alone, and it gives them someone to talk to every morning.

One elderly person who uses the service, Mrs. Marie Smithson, says, “Itâ€s a thrill to hear a voice. My husband died four years ago, ad I donâ€t have anyone else to talk to. I also feel now like I have some security. I know someoneâ€s there to help if I need it.”
