Attention Hoover Families:
HPD’s Special Needs Notification Program
If you have a loved one with autism, Alzheimer's, dementia, or other invisible disabilities, this is something you NEED to know!
The Hoover Police Department offers a Special Needs Notification Program that allows you to share important information about your family member before an emergency happens.
👮♂️ When you call 911, dispatchers can alert first responders about things like:
• Sensory sensitivities (lights, sirens, noise)
• Communication challenges
• Fear or anxiety around strangers
• Helpful interests or calming techniques
• Any other important details
This helps responders approach the situation with understanding, keeping everyone safer and calmer.
📝 You can request a “notification flag” for your address by providing:
• Name & address
• Emergency contacts
• Key care information (VERY important!)
📞 Get started:
• https://hooverpd.com/special-needs-notification-program/
• (205) 739-7076
• (205) 444-7640
🚨 Always call 911 in an emergency
Please share this with anyone who could benefit!
