Residents can help give emergency personnel like the Door County Sheriff’s Department more information when they approach their homes with just a sticker. The department began distributing the stickers this week as a way to notify emergency personnel about the possible challenges the people inside the home may be facing. The stickers address those suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, live with mental, physical, or developmental disabilities, or live on the autism spectrum. Door County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Brad Shortreed says the information provided by the sticker is useful for first responders.

Residents can pick up the stickers at the Door County Justice Center or by speaking with a patrol deputy.
