The Eastern Pike Regional Police Department is proud to announce the launch of a new Handle with Care Registry, designed to assist officers in providing better support and care for individuals with special needs in our community. This innovative program allows parents, guardians, and caregivers to voluntarily register loved ones with special needs, ensuring that essential information is available to officers in the event of an emergency.
All information provided in the registry is strictly confidential and will only be accessed by law enforcement or emergency responder personnel in the event of an emergency. The registry allows for the creation of detailed profiles, including important information such as medical conditions, behavioral considerations, communication preferences, and emergency contact details. By having access to specific information about individuals with special needs, officers can respond more effectively and with greater understanding during encounters, whether it's a lost person report, medical emergency, or any other situation.
Registration is easy and can be completed online through the Eastern Pike Regional Police Department's website at www.eprpd.org . Parents, guardians, and caregivers are encouraged to provide as much detail as possible to help our officers understand the specific needs of each individual.
