A One of a Kind Directory for Your Life, Family & Property

I have worked as a police officer for over ten years.  I know how much time police and fire dispatchers dedicate to trying to find loved ones of seriously injured family members.  I don’t know how many times I have responded to business and residential alarms, only to find out from dispatch that we have no way of contacting the owners.  As a police officer, I check to make sure no one is in the business or home and leave. Most of the time, especially with a business, I have no way to secure the door and never know if someone came in after I left and robbed the place of everything valuable.Week after week, police officers struggle to find Next of Kin information for deceased individuals.  Granted, we can usually find some form of identification on the body, however this rarely leads to an immediate notification.   Police officers and fire fighters routinely encounter children, elderly citizens and people with special needs who don’t know or can’t remember much more than their name or a name of a relative.  This is especially true if the individual has been traumatized in an accident.  So many times in my career, I have sent people to the hospital and have been unable to locate a family member to make notification.

Police and fire dispatchers need to know your emergency contact information.  Only so much information can be gathered based on a name and address on your driver’s license.  What if you don’t have a driver’s license?  On a daily basis, children are injured in vehicle accidents.  Often, they are with a young driver, not a parent or family member, and they have no identification on them.  When we take four kids to the hospital, without knowing if any of them will survive, we should be able to contact the parents.  Unfortunately, far too often this information is unavailable.

Fire fighters routinely respond to house and business fires.  As is often the case, the house is empty or the business is closed when the fire started.  Although the relief that no one was injured is overwhelming, the fact that no emergency contact information is available is an all too common realization.

Throughout this country, on an hourly basis, a police or fire dispatcher is trying to make contact with someone to inform them of a tragedy that affects their life, their family or property.  Wouldn’t you want to be contacted if something were to happen to your home, business or a family member?  Shouldn’t you consider utilizing a service that will help to facilitate this contact?
