Chicago Police: “Emergency Identification Bracelet” free for senior's (60+) or disabled citizen's

“Emergency Identification Bracelet”
The Emergency Identification Bracelet is a spandex bracelet that
opens to reveal the Chicago Police Department’s 24 hour telephone
number of the citizen’s district of residence and a 4- digit personal
identification number.

This I.D. number reveals important information about the registered
senior (60+) or disabled citizen and can only be accessed by the
Chicago Police Department. These bracelets have saved lives and
valuable time in emergency situations, especially when the wearer
cannot communicate effectively or becomes disoriented.

Streaming videos are currently being prepared to address important
issues relative to Senior Citizens.

Bracelet Application Includes:

• Name

• Phone Number
• Emergency Contact Person
• Medical Information/Allergies

Direct any inquires relative to this correspondence to the Senior Services
Section, at 312-745-5141.
