The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office in partnership with Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, and JaxReady have created a new program designed to alert first responders that someone at their residence and/or inside a vehicle may have Autism, Alzheimer's, Dementia, or another cognitive impairment. This program is called the First Responder Awareness Sticker Program.
The sticker will give law enforcement, and fire and rescue personnel an advance notice that there may be someone present that could be in need of special assistance, involved in a crisis, or could be lost from the response location. The sticker program is for awareness only and first responders should act accordingly given the specific situation at the time of response.
Up to three stickers per will be issued for qualifying individuals. One sticker for the residence and up to two stickers for vehicles belonging to caregivers. They will be displayed near the front entrance of the residence and on the rear window of the vehicle.
To request a stickers for an individual in your household call:
Emergency Preparedness Division: 904-255-3172
Missing Persons Unit: 904-255-2712
Or email REVAMP@coj.net.
If your someone in your care qualifies for the First Responder Awareness Sticker Program, they may also qualify for REVAMP Duval, a voluntary identification program that aids in the safe return of individuals that may be endangered, vulnerable or missing with cognitive and memory impairment or sensory disabilities.
