Info can include dislikes, fears, verbal ability, mobility, any aggressive or violent tendencies, and more. The info provided will be loaded into a database at the Hunterdon County Communications Dispatch Center. There, trained dispatchers will be able to cross reference names and addresses with the database and instantly provide details to first responders to assist them with the situation and keep the individual safe.
