圣迭戈县警长办公室11月月刊：部落旗11月12日将永久竖立县行政中心，近10万失智居民有三项计划护航回家
位于加州圣迭戈县的圣迭戈县警长办公室发布11月月刊。警长 Kelly A. Martinez 在卷首信中表示，11月将同时致敬退伍军人与本地区的原住民群体，并介绍选举安全、阿尔茨海默病认知月与节日季治安等本月重点。
11月是全国印第安裔传统月。圣迭戈县拥有的联邦承认部落数量居全美各县之首，县内有18个部落保留地，警长办公室设有7名部落联络员服务保留地社区。第4届县与部落升旗仪式将于11月12日举行，今年将迎来一个历史性节点：部落旗帜将在县行政中心永久安装，新设的旗杆上悬挂汇集17个联邦承认部落政府徽记的统一旗帜，旁有艺术墙致敬 Kumeyaay、Luiseño、Cahuilla 与 Cupeño 四个本地文化群体。
月刊还回顾了2026年与部落合作的两项进展：历经十多年努力推出的紧急部落通行计划（ETAP）已经启动，让获授权的部落成员与部落政府在重大紧急事件中能安全、协调地通过紧急道路封闭点、返回其主权土地；警长办公室还签署了全州失踪与被杀原住民（MMIP）谅解备忘录，以便利报告、加快响应，并为家属带来协调与公正。
11月也是阿尔茨海默病认知月。圣迭戈县有近10万人患有阿尔茨海默病或其他类型的失智症。警长办公室的 Take Me Home 计划是一个免费、保密的登记系统，家属可在线登记亲人的近期照片、紧急联系人与安抚方式等信息，全县执法机构均可查询，副警长发现走失且无法说清住址的人时可据此迅速联系家人送其回家； Martinez 10月17日参加了 Alzheimer's San Diego 的年度 Walk4ALZ 步行活动。
另外两项免费计划同样面向失智与独居长者：Blue Envelope（蓝信封）计划让沟通有障碍者（包括失智症患者）随身携带蓝信封、钱包卡或佩戴手环、徽章、贴纸，向副警长表明自己需要多一点耐心与理解，无需登记、可在任何警长站或分站免费领取材料；You Are Not Alone（YANA）计划为独居长者提供每个工作日早晨的免费问候电话与每周一次的警长志愿者巡逻上门探访，若无人应答，志愿者会上门确认安全、必要时召唤副警长，并可对接县老龄与成人保护服务。家属如发现亲人走失应立即拨打911，不要等待；经 Alzheimer's San Diego（电话 858-492-4400）还可获得免费的个性化支持，包括协助登记 Take Me Home。
在选举安全方面，警长办公室表示已与选举官员、公共安全伙伴与相关机构协调做好主动安全规划，维持随时响应安全关切、骚扰与紧急情况的准备，保障每位合格选民能自由、和平、不受恐吓地参与选举，紧急情况拨打911。节日季方面，「节日守望」（Holiday Watch）行动将持续到2026年底，犯罪预防专员、社区警务副警长与零售伙伴将走访辖区购物中心与商业区，宣讲保护购物物品、防范车辆砸窗盗窃、包裹盗窃与常见节日诈骗等提示，团体与商家可通过警长办公室犯罪预防邮箱申请专题宣讲或展示。
退伍军人节方面，月刊指出警长办公室雇有数百名军人与预备役人员，志愿者警长巡逻、搜救队与预备役副警长中也有许多退伍军人。近期社区活动包括：11月12日上午9时至11时在 San Marcos 的 Felix's BBQ（763 Center Drive, Ste. 103）举行「与副警长喝咖啡吃玉米面包」；同日在圣迭戈州立大学 Aztec 学生中心举行公共事务学院职业博览会（上午10时30分至下午1时）；11月18日上午8时至9时30分在 Alpine 的 Starbucks（2963 Alpine Blvd, Suite 101）举行社区咖啡会。警长办公室非紧急电话为 (858) 868-3200。
San Diego County Sheriff's Office November Newsletter: Tribal Flag to Be Permanently Installed Nov. 12, Three Programs Help Residents With Dementia Get Home
The San Diego County Sheriff's Office, in San Diego County, California, has released its November 2026 newsletter. In her opening message, Sheriff Kelly A. Martinez said November honors both military veterans and the region's first people, alongside a focus on election security, Alzheimer's Awareness Month and holiday-season safety.
November is National Native American Heritage Month. San Diego County is home to more federally recognized tribal nations than any other county in the United States, with 18 tribal reservations, and the Sheriff's Office maintains seven Tribal Liaisons dedicated to serving reservation communities. The 4th Annual County-Tribal Flag Raising Ceremony will take place on November 12, and this year's event marks a historic milestone: the permanent installation of the Tribal flag at the County Administration Center, on a dedicated pole displaying the unified flag featuring the seals of 17 federally recognized tribal governments, alongside an art wall honoring the Kumeyaay, Luiseño, Cahuilla and Cupeño peoples.
The newsletter also reviewed two 2026 milestones with tribal partners: the Emergency Tribal Access Pass program (ETAP), launched after more than a decade of effort, gives authorized tribal members and tribal governments a secure, coordinated way to navigate emergency road closures and access their sovereign lands during major incidents; and the Sheriff's Office signed the statewide MMIP Memorandum of Understanding, which enhances California's collaborative response to cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous persons by making reporting easier and improving response times.
November is also Alzheimer's Awareness Month. Nearly 100,000 people in San Diego County are living with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. The Sheriff's Office Take Me Home program is a free, confidential registry: families can register a loved one online with a recent photo, emergency contacts and helpful details, and the information, accessible only to law enforcement across the county, lets deputies quickly identify a person who is lost and contact their family. Martinez joined Alzheimer's San Diego for the annual Walk4ALZ on October 17.
Two other free programs serve people with dementia and older adults living alone. The Blue Envelope Program lets people whose conditions can affect communication, including dementia, carry a blue envelope or wallet card, or wear a bracelet, button or sticker, signaling to deputies that the person may need extra patience and understanding; there is no cost and no registration, and materials are available at any Sheriff's station or substation. The You Are Not Alone (YANA) program offers free check-in phone calls every weekday morning and a weekly visit from the Volunteer Sheriff's Patrol; if a participant does not answer, volunteers go to the home, a deputy is called if needed, and participants can be connected with County Aging and Adult Protective Services. Families whose loved one goes missing should call 911 right away and not wait, and free, personalized support, including help enrolling in Take Me Home, is available through Alzheimer's San Diego at 858-492-4400.
On election security, the Sheriff's Office said it coordinates with election officials, public safety partners and relevant agencies on proactive safety planning, maintains readiness to respond to safety concerns, disturbances or emergencies, and works to ensure every eligible voter can participate freely, peacefully and without intimidation or fear, with emergencies reported to 911. For the holiday season, the Holiday Watch initiative, active through the end of 2026, brings Crime Prevention Specialists, community-oriented policing deputies and retail partners into shopping centers and business districts to share reminders on protecting purchases, preventing vehicle break-ins, reducing package theft and spotting common holiday scams; groups and businesses can request a presentation through the Sheriff's Crime Prevention team.
For Veterans Day, the newsletter noted that the Sheriff's Office employs hundreds of military service members and reservists, and that many of its volunteers, including the Volunteer Sheriff's Patrol, Search and Rescue and Reservists, are military veterans. Upcoming community events include Coffee and Cornbread with a Deputy on Nov. 12, 9 to 11 a.m., at Felix's BBQ, 763 Center Drive, Ste. 103, in San Marcos; the SDSU School of Public Affairs Career Fair the same day, 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Aztec Student Union; and Coffee with the Community in Alpine on Nov. 18, 8 to 9:30 a.m., at Starbucks, 2963 Alpine Blvd, Suite 101. The Sheriff's Office non-emergency phone number is (858) 868-3200.
