The Special Needs Registry is an initiative of the Reminderville Police Department. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for voluntary reporting of such persons with "special needs" due to mental or neurological disabilities who reside in Reminderville, by the person themselves or an adult family member or guardian, so that those with special needs who require special assistance in an emergency or in interactions with RPD are identified to RPD, to increase the department's ability to meet those needs.
Residents are invited to proactively provide information about a loved one with special needs of any age who may require special assistance in an emergency or interaction with Reminderville Police Department.

What happens once the person is registered?
Reminderville Police Department will maintain the registry. The information provided will assist Police Officers, EMS, Fire, Rescue and dispatchers with the information needed to safely and successfully interact and communicate with your loved one, as well as provide us with your contact information.
Who has access to my loved one's profile?
Reminderville Police Department personnel who require this information in the performance of their duties will have access to the information. There are strict regulations concerning accessing and disseminating information. The sharing of information with other first responders during an emergency can be helpful when a person is registered. Reminderville Police Department will make every effort to respect privacy and confidentiality while providing for the needs of the people involved.
Can I update my profile if there are changes? How do I do that?
You may, however only information that significantly impacts policing response will be necessary. Examples include a change of address, school, or emergency contact. To submit changes please email jboswell@remindervillepolice.com with the subject line "Special Needs Registry". We ask that you review your profile yearly and if possible, to send a new photo every year.
After my child/dependent adult is registered, and there is an incident, do I need to do something to inform the police?
It is preferable that you let the dispatcher or police officer know that the individual is already registered. In doing so, the information will be immediately disseminated to on-duty personnel without having to ask the parents/guardians during a high-stress situation.
How will this registry help if my child/dependent goes missing?
If the individual is reported missing by the parent/guardian, information from the registry will be disseminated to on duty personnel in the area to look for the missing person. If the individual has not been reported missing and is incapable of effectively communicating his/her name to an officer, coupled with the physical appearance, may allow us to identify the individual more quickly. This will allow us to use the contact information to connect with the parents/guardians.
As soon as I register, will the information be immediately available if a police response is required?
No. The registration form will need to be entered to capture all relevant information. The process may take up to two (2) weeks to fully process.
