Clarksville Police Now Offering Special Needs Registry for Residents

Clarksville Police Department

CLARKSVILLE, TENN. – The Clarksville Police Department is pleased to announce a new initiative designed to help first responders better assist individuals with special needs within our community.

Caregivers of individuals with Autism, Dementia, limited communication abilities, or other special needs can now submit a Special Needs Form—along with a photo of the individual—to the Clarksville Police and Fire Dispatch.

Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) Administrator Angee Daniel utilized existing software available to the Clarksville Police Department to create this form.

The information will be securely stored and used by dispatchers to provide responding patrol units with important details when they encounter a person who may be unable to effectively communicate. Having this information in advance will help officers and firefighters respond more quickly, appropriately, and safely.

This program is available to citizens who live within the City of Clarksville.

To register, visit: https://clarksvilletn.gov/1409/Special-Needs-Form

All fields marked with a red asterisk must be filled out.

You can attach a photo(s) of the individual once you click Submit. (size limit of 250MB)

You will receive a confirmation page when properly submitted.

For those who are concerned about this. The information shared by President Trump today was inaccurate and harmful. Please talk to your doctor about any concerns you have about medications you take.

ACOG reaffirms the safety and benefits of acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
More than two decades of research have found no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.

I love this picture of one of our clients enjoying his snack but reaching around to hold his therapist’s hand. 💜 The most important goal and the very first thing we work on is developing a positive relationship with our clients. Once we’ve established that, then we can work on all of the other things!
