Logan’s Law ~ (READ this if you know or love a special needs person)
Registration is open! If you have a loved one with special needs, the Dunwoody Police Department, in partnership with Chatcomm 911, is establishing a local Logan’s Law database. The purpose of this database is to alert emergency medical, fire, law enforcement, and other first responders when there are individuals with special needs who might have difficulty communicating and interacting with responding personnel.

Special needs individuals might include those with autism, physical, mental, or neurological disorders, PTSD who may be prone to violence, excitability, or fear of lights, sirens, loud noises, and personnel in uniform. This database will be maintained by Chatcomm 911 for use during emergencies.
