A few clicks of your mouse can help local emergency personnel with your family and friends in times of need. Introduced earlier this month by the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles, you can now list your emergency contact information as a part of your DMV record. Currently, dispatchers and law enforcement have to comb through multiple records to find who you may be connected to if you are in an emergency and cannot tell them the necessary information. Through this program, Door County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says it will streamline the process to help them find the right people quicker.
