Nashua Police Announce 'Just In Case' Program
NASHUA, NH —The Nashua Police Department is looking to expand its community services with a newly-announced program called "Just in Case.""As many residents are aware the Nashua Police Department currently uses two programs to serve the community: Autism Awareness and Operation Safe Return," the department wrote Thursday. "While these programs are successful, the police department strives to service a larger segment of the city’s population, as many residents are affected by much more than autism or dementia."That sparked the idea for "Just in Case," which the department says will be "used to identify people in our community living with cognitive limitations" and help officers "provide the right servives for the right situation."With the new program, police will be given an emergency alerty to a person’s diagnosis and emergency contacts, as well as what can calm or trigger them, according to the department.It "works intimately with the Co-Responder Program, meaning a trained behavioral health worker will assist in managing 'Just In Case,'" police added. "This way police officers can better respond to the individualized needs of the person."The Nashua Police Department will hold Cone with a Cop at Hayward’s Ice Cream Saturday from 12-3 p.m. The event will also be the official roll out of the "Just In Case" program.
