GRAND ISLAND — The Grand Island Police Department would like to inform you that we have been in the process of revitalizing the Blue Hands Project, a registry program for people with autism and other developmental disabilities.
Under the program, parents, relatives and guardians provide police with detailed information about the routines, behavior and needs of those with disabilities, including Alzheimer’s, dementia and Down syndrome.
The information provided in this registry can provide timely and pertinent information on ways to communicate and assist with these persons during emergency situations.
This service is free of charge and is a way for our community and their loved ones to know that the Grand Island Police Department and its officers care about their safety when assisting with persons with autism and disabilities.
