Sheriff Launches Special Needs Awareness Tool

 

 

Sheriff Richardson would like to announce the rollout of a great new feature from the DeSoto Parish Sheriff's Office. Our 911 Dispatchers receive calls for a variety of different reasons whether it be a welfare check, recent theft at a residence, or suspicious behavior in the area.   We recognize that many citizens in DeSoto Parish are or have loved ones that respond differently to visitors knocking on their door.  

 

 

 

It is always our desire to accommodate, serve, and protect all individuals in the parish to the best of our ability.  Sheriff Richardson is now providing a "Special Needs Awareness" form, available in the new DeSoto Sheriff App and on our website.  With this form, you can fill out the information about a loved one with special needs as it pertains to the individual.  

 

 

This information is sent to and managed by dispatchers so that they are able to communicate with the First Responder visiting your residence.  By filling out the form you are providing the First Responder with an emergency contact, name, nickname, age, description, as well as any additional information that may help law enforcement services and ensure the safety of the individual.  Sheriff Richardson is encouraging the community to take advantage of this tool as soon as possible by downloading the Sheriff App and filling out a form today!
