911 and Disability Indicator Program

Type:  announcements  

 

The Wellesley Police Department would like to inform residents of the 9-1-1 Disability Indicator Program.
 
The Disability Indicator Program alerts Wellesley Police dispatchers of persons that are mobility, hearing, speech or sight impaired when an emergency call is received from a land line telephone by dialing 9-1-1.  When a call is received at the Wellesley Police Department via 9-1-1, the Disability Indicator Program IMMEDIATELY notifies the call taker of pre-existing conditions and can save valuable time in an emergency situation.
 
Residents that currently participate in the Disability Indicator Program are asked to contact the Wellesley Police Department to provide your telephone service provider due to an update with the program.
 
 
For more information on this program or to add an indicator to your telephone number please contact Dispatcher Sarah Walsh at 781-235-1212 (days) and leave a voice mail message.  Or contact Dispatcher Walsh through email at swalsh@wellesleyma.gov
