What is the Livermore Police Department's Special Needs Registry? 

The Special Needs Registry is a program offered by the Livermore Police Department as a service to the community. The purpose of the Special Needs Registry is to compile and maintain person records of individuals who have “special needs” due to mental or neurological disabilities and who reside or frequently visit the City of Livermore, who may require special assistance in an emergency or during interactions with Livermore Police Officers.  Residents are invited to proactively provide information about a loved one with special needs of any age.  The registration is completely voluntary.

How to register

To participate in the Special Needs Registry, complete the Special Needs Registry form and turn it into the Livermore Police Department, either in person, or via email at snr@livermoreca.gov. Parents and caregivers may enroll a person of any age with any type of medical condition or disability, including but not limited to: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia, Bipolar Disorder, and Down Syndrome.  Adults with special needs may also enroll themselves in the program.  If the consumer is an adult, and they do not provide consent themselves, or are unable to provide consent due to their disability, the parent/caregiver will have to show legal documentation (conservatorship/court order) to show they have the legal authority to make decisions for the consumer.

What happens once a person is registered? 

When a police officer has contact with the consumer listed on this form, our dispatch center will be able to provide our officers with the information needed to successfully interact and communicate with your loved one, as well as provide our department personnel with your emergency contact information
