During the event more than 50 seniors signed up for the program. Each participant received a Yellow Dot information card to be filled out with emergency contacts, medications, allergies, medical history, hospital preference and information about any pets at home that may need care for.

Participants were helped with the process of filling out the cards and officers affixed the Yellow Dot decals in the rear windshields of their vehicles.

The Wallingford Police Department would like to thank all that participated and special thanks to Angela DeLeon at Peoples United Bank for creating this fundamental program to help keep our senior community safe.
