Special Needs Residents Urged To Register With First Responders

DEARBORN, MI – Dearborn officials are encouraging residents with family members who have mental health issues or intellectual or physical impairments to register with the police and fire departments.

This voluntary program allows family members to alert public safety responders that individuals with special needs live in their home.

Conditions that may require special care include autism, Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, and physical disabilities.

The Special Needs 911 Registry form can be found on the City of Dearborn's website.
