The Marshall County Sheriff's Office is proud to announce a new partnership with the Linked-Autism Safety Project, an innovative program designed to improve interactions between emergency responders and individuals in the autism and special needs communities. This voluntary registration program aims to collect vital information about individuals with autism and special needs to ensure that first responders can provide the best possible assistance during emergencies. Caregivers are invited to register their loved ones either online through the Sheriff's Department website using the attached link or by visiting the Sheriff's office in person to complete a paper form. A paper form will be accessible on the school website and will be sent home with all students. Please note these forms should be returned to the Marshall County Sheriff's Department, not the school. All information provided through the linked Program will be kept secure and confidential, accessible only to the Marshall County Sheriff's Deputies and emergency responders. Each registered family will receive a Family Emergency Planning Packet. This program is available at no cost to all Marshall County residents. For any question s or further information, please contact the Marshall County Sheriff's Office.
