HANOVER — A newly expanded program that allows residents to alert police about family members with special needs may make responding to scenes less stressful — and safer — for both emergency responders and the public in 20 more Upper Valley towns.
Hanover Police and the White River Junction-based Special Needs Support Center recently adopted the “special needs information program” to cover all towns within the Hanover dispatch territory, including Hanover, Canaan, Cornish, Enfield, Lyme, Orford, Plainfield, Piermont, Grafton, Springfield, Dorchester and Grantham in New Hampshire, and Norwich, Thetford, Fairlee, Bradford, Strafford, Vershire, West Fairlee and Corinth in Vermont.
