The Village of Algonquin, IL

The Illinois Premise Alert Program (430 ILCS 132) allows individuals with special needs or disabilities to voluntarily provide information to police, fire, and emergency medical personnel. This information is entered into the computer-aided dispatch system to help first responders provide informed assistance during an emergency situation involving the individual.

All submitted information will be kept confidential and is used solely to aid first responders. It will remain in the Premise Alert Program database for a maximum of two (2) years. A notification will be sent prior to the two-year expiration. If the information is not confirmed or updated at that time, it will be removed from the system. You may update or resubmit the form at any time.

Participation in this program does not guarantee or entitle any individual to preferential treatment. The Village of Algonquin, the Algonquin Police Department, and any other responding agencies will not be held liable for actions or duties relating to the Premise Alert Program or the reporting of special needs individuals.

For the purposes of this program:

• Disability means a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; a record of such an impairment; or being regarded as having such an impairment.

• Special needs individual refers to someone who has, or is at increased risk for, a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who requires health and related services of a type or amount beyond those generally needed.

The form may be completed by the individual or by someone familiar with the individual’s condition, such as a family member, friend, caregiver, or medical professional. Once submitted, the information may be relayed to responding public safety personnel via radio, phone, computer, or any means available to ensure appropriate response.

Completed forms may be submitted to:

Algonquin Police Department
2200 Harnish Drive
Algonquin, IL 60102-5995
