GERMANTOWN, Tenn. — The Germantown Police Department is introducing a new program to help officers better serve all of their citizens, but they need the public's help.

From the moment you dial 911, every second matters when responding to an emergency.

That's why the Germantown Police Department is working to improve its response times, specifically when it comes to those with special needs.

GPD launched a new public safety initiative called the "Special Needs Safety Information" program.

According to the city of Germantown, family members and caregivers can share key information about their loved ones who may have difficulty communicating with first responders.

That information includes the person's name, age, picture, address, and any relevant medical needs or behaviors.
