Special

needs

registry

offered

Families with special needs
members can now register with
the Westland Police Department
to ensure appropriate respons-
es.
The police department has
established a 911 registry for
Westland families who live with
someone who has disabilities,
such as autism or Alzheimer's
disease. Residents can complete
a form and submit it to the
department. The pertinent infor-
mation will be entered into the
dispatch system, alerting officers
to any special circumstances at
the residence.
If officers are dispatched to
an address that has completed
the registry form, an alert will be
placed on the address notifying
police of any pertinent informa-
tion before responding. The goal
of the registry is to prevent situa-
tions such as lights/siren causing
an epileptic seizure or miscom-
munication when interacting
with someone who is non-verbal
or autistic.
The form is available at the
Westland Police Department
and at Westland City Hall during
business hours, 9 a.m. until 5
p.m. Monday through Friday.
