How can I assist the police or other emergency response units locating my residence quickly?

Have your address displayed in a location easily observed from the street. An address displayed by the front door near or by an outside light (or reflective lettering) makes it easier for responding personnel to locate the address. Also, during an emergency, have someone stand by the street if possible to flag down the responding personnel and to provide additional information.

For information about off-duty officers, check HERE and/or contact the Special Operations Sergeant at 205-332-6230
