The Buxton Community Cares Program was established in 1992. The program was designed for citizens to call in, who wish to have wellbeing checks daily.

This program has been very successful over the years. Through daily contacts, the people who utilize this program have developed great relationships with the dispatchers and police officers in this department.

The intent of this program is to assist persons living in their homes and give them a certain level of security and peace-of-mind. The Buxton Emergency Communications Center is designed to handle any emergency in a timely and safe manner. It is important to understand that age is not a factor in receiving this service.
