Premise Alert System
The Premise Alert System is a safety program that supports individuals living with disabilities as well as Police Officers responding to calls within a specific address.  It allows families to voluntarily notify the police and other first responders about their special circumstances.  It may be a child or adult with autism, developmental delays, mental retardation, or a Alzheimer patient who wanders.  The Premise Alert System also helps police departments identify individuals who have special needs which will enable the responding officer to have additional information at his/her disposal.  You need to send a copy of the form (see link) to your 911 center with directions to have them entered into the address database as a Special Needs Premise Alert.  This form will give first responders critical information during a dispatch and response during a crisis situation.    LINK HERE...
