Special Needs Information Program (SNIP)
The Enfield Police Department is proud to partner with the Special Needs Support Center (SNSC) in supporting the Special Needs Information Program (SNIP).
SNIP is a voluntary program in which special needs community members of any age, or their family members, can submit information such as triggers, special accommodations, emergency contacts, and a photograph. The information is entered into a secure database to which Hanover Dispatch and their First Responders will have access in event of an emergency.
The program is intended to aid dispatchers, officers, EMTs, and firefighters in their response to calls for assistance that may involve individuals with disabilities. This may include locating a missing person, medical emergency, crisis situation, behavioral episode, or other interactions. This is an expansion of an existing database which identifies community members who have Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
The registration process includes completing the SNIP form and sending a photograph of the individual. This information will be kept on file and remain confidential within the police department, to be accessed by dispatchers and first responders in the event of an emergency.
Area Police Departments, including Lebanon and Hartford, have successfully piloted the SNIP program, in partnership with the Special Needs Support Center (SNSC) of White River Junction. The program is expanding to the Hanover Police Department, as well as the Hanover Regional Communications Center, which serves as the primary dispatch network for the Enfield Police Department.
