DEPARTMENT HAS A PROGRAM FOR FAMILIES 
          [Safe at Home Rollout]
WITH INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BARRIERS
COMMUNICATION WITH POLICE OFFICERS? IT'S CALLED SAFE AT HOME, WHICH STANDS
FOR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS FOR EMERGENCIES. 
          THE SAFE AT HOME PROGRAM IS FOR GARLAND
RESIDENTS WHO HAVE UNIQUE COMMUNICATION CONCERNS WHEN INTERACTING
WITH POLICE OFFICERS SUCH AS THOSE WITH INTELLECTUAL AND EMOTIONAL,
BEHAVIORAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS, AS WELL AS RESIDENTS
WITH SPECIFIC COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES. 
          THIS VOLUNTARY PROGRAM
ALLOWS FAMILY MEMBERS AND CAREGIVERS TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE EVENT A POLICE OFFICER
MUST RESPOND TO THEIR HOMES. 
          BY WORKING TOGETHER, WE CREATE A COMMUNITY
WHERE THE NEEDS OF ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS CAN BE COMMUNICATED IN CERTAIN EFFECTIVE
ENCOUNTERS WITH FIRST RESPONDERS.
