The Walworth County Special Needs Registry is now available for families and caregivers to voluntarily submit important information about individuals with special needs.
The Special Needs Registry is a program available to special needs citizens who reside in Walworth County. While the program is maintained through the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office, due to the best interest of all Walworth County citizens, police departments from all jurisdictions in Walworth County will work together to share and maintain information provided to help keep everyone as safe as possible.
The Special Needs Registry is designed to assist police and fire departments during encounters with members of the community who have disabilities such as, but not limited to, Alzheimer’s, Autism, Schizophrenia, Dementia, or any other mental or developmental disorders. The goal of this program is to give emergency personnel quick access to critical information about a registered individual with special needs in an emergency. Walworth County will take all possible measures to ensure this information is relayed to the proper personnel; however, completion of this form does not guarantee that this information will be readily accessible and shared with responding personnel.
To enroll in the program, complete the Special Needs Registry form, which provides pertinent information about the special needs individual that is entered into the public safety database. This form can be found on the county website and the link above.
