Ottawa police say that a new partnership with MedicAlert Foundation Canada will help the “most vulnerable,” from wandering people with dementia to lost children with autism, who’d be assisted by responding officers having access to their personal data and needs.
The charity’s Connect Protect service gives police 24-hour access to a subscriber’s photo, identity, medical condition or special need and past history through their MedicAlert medical IDs. It costs $60 a year plus the cost of the ID.
Police say that the information will help officers search more efficiently, increasing the chances that those who go missing are quickly found.
“We really believe that having this extra information will increase both resident and officer safety, and ultimately save lives,” Staff Sgt. Robert Bernier said.
“By having a current photo, family contact, or other relevant information, we can help the person who needs it most.”
MedicAlert, which is already working with police in cities including Edmonton, Vancouver and Hamilton, said that it’s electronic health records are stored in a secure database.
Ottawa police will have a “small number” of administrators who can access the MedicAlert portal and relay information to patrol officers and pledges not to share the information with other agencies and to use them only for emergency response.
