Special Needs Registry Decals
Each registrant will be provided with different sized decals that can be placed on the front entrance of the registrant’s residence as well as on the window of any vehicle in which they regularly travel. The purpose of the decal is to signify to the first responders that someone in the residence/vehicle has some degree of special need and they should respond accordingly. The use of decals by registrants is strictly voluntary and is not required.
