Handle with Care Registry
Handle with care registry has been created to help police officers better assist citizens with special needs, in the event of an emergency or other interaction, by providing law enforcement with vital information regarding a registrant’s disability such as emergency contact information, physical description, current photograph and more.
The goal of Handle with care registry is to ensure all community members who have a special need are able to get the help and support they need in a time of emergency, if reported missing and/or during an interaction with law enforcement personnel.
