Special needs registration

The Cheshire Human Services Committee, in collaboration with the Cheshire Police Department, and Cheshire Social Services Department would like to invite Cheshire residents to participate in a Special Needs Awareness and At Risk registration event.

Where?

Cheshire Police Department
500 Highland Avenue

When?

Saturday February 10
9:00 am - 12:00 pm (please arrive at 9:00 am)

Purpose?

To familiarize families who have a child or other family member with special needs with the police department and also to provide an opportunity for families to register their loved one on an At-Risk List with the police department.

The intention of the registry is to make available valuable, time saving, and perhaps lifesaving information to police in the event that they are called upon to respond to an incident involving your loved one. This would include medical emergencies, 911 calls, as well as any other routine calls. The Cheshire Fire Department as well as the Ambulance corps will be represented at the event so that you and your family can become acquainted with personnel and ask questions.

Please note that the registry is absolutely voluntary and all information contained in it will be kept completely confidential.

For more information and registry forms please click to visit CheshireCares.

Please note: If you complete and submit the form to the Police Department on or before Monday, February 5, 2007, will enable us to produce a photo ID badge for your son or daughter.
