The sticker is part of the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office’s Respond With Care program that Sheriff Bob Gualtieri just launched. It’s aimed at alerting and preparing first responders that someone with special needs may be in a home or a car that they’re approaching.
An individual or someone in their family can request a sticker by calling PCSO's Crime Prevention and Community Awareness Unit at 582-2222. Sergeant Amanda Sinni said deputies will then ask them a series of questions."We want to make sure they go to the right people who truly need them so there is that process in place," Sinni said.
She recommends putting the sticker in a prominent place on your car or your home like near the front door of your home, and the left corner on the driver’s side of a car.Michelle Detweiler, the president and CEO of PARC Center for Disabilities, said the program is a great idea. She said the stickers will build a stronger relationship between law enforcement and families of those with special needs.
