What is the Special Needs Registry?

The Salem County Special Needs Registry is a joint collaboration between the Salem County Health and Human Services, Salem County Sheriff’s Department, Salem County Prosecutors Office, and the Salem County Office of Emergency Management. The registry is a voluntary service open to anyone who lives in Salem County that is affected in some way by a physical, mental, or developmental disability.

Once an individual is registered under the Special Needs Registry, the registrant’s information is shared with Salem County dispatch. If an emergency arises, dispatch will then notify emergency responders to better assist in their response.
