The Office of the Prosecutor has officially launched its Special Needs Registry program. Click here for details. Middlesex County Special Needs Registry (SNR) is a no cost, voluntary service open to any individuals with special needs who reside, work, or attend school in Middlesex County. The purpose of the registry is to help law enforcement and first responders better assist special needs residents in an emergency situation or a police encounter. The registry provides crucial information regarding a registrant’s special needs, i.e., physical or mental impairment, emergency contact information, physical description, and current photograph.
