On August 28, 2009, the
Illinois Premise Alert Program (PAP) Act became
effective in Illinois. The PAP is a safety program
that supports individuals living with disabilities as
well as Police Officers or other public safety units
responding to calls at a specific address.
PAP is
a database of individuals with special needs that is
kept in our computer aided dispatch (CAD) system and is
maintained by the 911 center at the request of Sangamon
County families,
caregivers, or individuals with disabilities or special
needs. The PAP allows families to voluntarily
notify the police and other first responders about their
special circumstance free from any charge.
The PAP
will assist police departments to identify individuals
who have specials needs, which will enable the
responding officers to have additional information at
his/her disposal.
