The Sioux City Police and Fire Rescue Departments have teamed up to offer a new program to the community.
Police Chief Rex Mueller says the Special Response Static Sticker Program will inform first responders if there are people with special needs in a home they are dispatched to in times of emergency:
OC……….who is diabetic. :21
The program was an idea of Officer Donette Sassman:
OC………..For Sioux City. :20
The stickers are meant to be placed in the rear windshield of a vehicle or front window of a home.
That lets first responders know there could be a party inside who might not respond to verbal commands or may use alternative methods of communication.
Several local agencies will distribute the stickers along with Police and Fire Headquarters.
