Milford Police Introduce Yellow Dot Program

MILFORD, MA — The Yellow Dot is a new program introduced by the Milford Police Department. The dot is a yellow sticker that people can place in the rear window of their motor vehicle that alerts first responders that there is critical medical information in the glove compartment.

While anyone can join the free program, the department currently has sign-up events scheduled that focus on seniors and young people with behavioral conditions.

Here's more from the police department:

Today we’re excited to announce the Yellow Dot initiative. The Yellow Dot is a free program that provides first responders with quick access to critical medical information about the occupants of a motor vehicle in the event of an accident or health emergency.

This program is perfect for anyone that has or has a loved one with a medical or behavioral condition. Participants will place the provided Yellow Dot decal on the driver’s side rear window of their cars. In the event of an emergency, the Yellow Dot Decal alerts responders that critical medical information is in the glove compartment of the vehicle.

Beginning Saturday December 9th those interested can come to the Milford Police department to pick up their sticker and information pamphlet.

The Yellow Dot initiative is one of the many ways The Milford Police Department is committed to serving our community.
