Providing police or fire assistance in a life threatening emergency is always a challenge. But imagine the difficulty encountered by public safety personnel if an individual is unable to communicate with those giving care.
For only $11, the City of Oak Forest will provide an emergency identification bracelet to any resident who may have a physical or mental disability that substantially limits his or her ability to communicate. Each bracelet contains a coded number that allows emergency personnel to quickly obtain information such as the individual's name, address, telephone number, birth date, allergies, medical conditions, and emergency contact.
For more information or to purchase a bracelet, contact the Police Department at 708-687-1376 or download the application form now. |
