The Spencer County Sheriff’s Office has introduced an online form to help emergency responders assist individuals with special needs more effectively. Families can now submit vital information about individuals with conditions such as autism, Alzheimer’s, dementia, physical disabilities, and other medical considerations, ensuring first responders are better prepared when responding to calls involving those individuals.
The secure and user-friendly form allows families to provide details such as medical diagnoses, identifying marks, necessary medications or equipment, and behavioral considerations. It also includes options to list emergency contacts, preferred communication methods, potential triggers, and calming techniques to help responders interact with individuals safely and effectively.
Keeping this information up to date ensures responders have access to the most current details when they arrive at a scene. Families can submit and update records as needed through the provided online form.
