The Phoenix Police Department is excited to announce the launch of Smart Notifications for 1st Responders. This voluntary program allows community members living in the City of Phoenix to provide additional information to officers when responding to incidents at their residence. It creates a pathway to provide information regarding mental health concerns, cognitive issues, communication methods, or other important information about themselves or those at the address where officers are responding.
“Smart Notifications is providing officers more information so that they can be better equipped when responding to a home,” shared Officer Sabrina Taylor, Crisis Intervention Team Training Coordinator.
The hope of the program is to help officers respond with care by having as much important information as possible about individuals they may interact with, and to also use the information to locate missing individuals if needed.
Anyone interested in providing information about themselves or for someone they are a caregiver to, will need to fill out the online application form and a Crisis Intervention Team officer will follow up to verify information.
After submission, the form is valid for one year. A reminder notification will be sent out to renew.
