The Lilburn Police Department has initiated a voluntary Vulnerable Citizens Registry program to allow caregivers to provide information such as who to call in an emergency, a detailed physical description and any particular sensitivities the person may experience.
The program is ideal for elderly adults with Alzheimer’s or dementia, non-verbal autistic children, persons with an acquired brain injury or other special needs that could make them vulnerable in an emergency and unable to help themselves.
When responding to a call for assistance, officers are alerted beforehand if the registrant has an inability to communicate or displays aggression, irrational fear or oversensitivity to sensory stimulus.
