Algonquin Police offer Green Bracelet effort

By

ALGONQUIN — The Algonquin Police Department has announced the launch of a Green Bracelet program. According to a press release from the Algonquin Police Department:

The Green Bracelet is for residents who are elderly, have disabilities that could place them at a higher risk for becoming disoriented, lost or confused, or may have difficulty communicating their needs. It is also for those who could benefit due to autism, Alzheimer’s, dementia or other physical or mental health history.

Participants will be issued a Green Bracelet containing a metal face plate bearing an ID number and instructions to contact the Algonquin Police Department if the participant needs assistance.

The Green Bracelet effort relays quick access to relevant medical and emergency contacts for the participant.

No personally identifiable information will be located on the bracelet.

Those interested in enrolling a loved one into this program can call the Algonquin Police Department at 847-658-4531.
