RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - The Reno Police Department is introducing the mental health online registry to help better serve our community.

The goal is to have people sign up with the registry, so they know how to best treat individuals in case of an emergency.

The program is voluntary, and participants may submit details such as:

• Diagnoses that may impact behavior

• Preferred communication methods

• Known triggers or stressors

• Effective calming techniques

• Medical concerns like seizures, mobility issues or dementia

All information will be securely stored and accessible only to authorized first responders in the performance of their official duties. Information will not be shared with outside agencies without legal authority or consent.
