The Gloucester Township Police Department and the Camden County Prosecutors Office has a registry for individuals with Special Needs and disabilities in efforts to give police quick access in an emergency to critical information about a person who is registered. The registry can provide police with emergency contact information, detailed physical descriptions, known routines, favorite attractions, or the needs of an individual with Special Needs and other disabilities such as: Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Down Syndrome or any other endangered individuals.
This information can greatly assist police officers when time is essential in communicating and dealing with an emergency situation involving a person with Special Needs and disabilities. The online registration asks for valuable information that the police officer may need when helping individuals with Special Needs and disabilities. We ask that all questions be filled out completely and a current photograph be provided, which can be submitted online on Camden County Prosecutors Office Special Needs Registry here: https://camdencountypros.org/community-page/41
The information you provide is confidential and will only be used by our police officers. If any of the information on the registration changes you are encouraged to re-register as soon as possible.
Another step we have taken to better assist our Gloucester Township community members with Autism and Special Needs is by creating a sticker that can be placed on your vehicle or near the main entrance to your home that will alert an approaching officer that someone in the vehicle or the home could have a special need. We also have seatbelt sleeves that will warn a First Responder during an incident such as a motor vehicle crash that the occupant has Autism and may not respond. Pictures of the stickers and seatbelt sleeves are attached below.
The Special Needs Registry, as well as the seatbelt sleeves and stickers, are free to our residents. This is just another example of the partnership between the Gloucester Township Police Department and its residents. For a sticker or seatbelt sleeve, please stop in and see our Watch Desk officer at Police Headquarters, 1261 Chews Landing Rd., Laurel Springs, NJ 08021.
