Smart911

The Lafayette Police Department has partnered with Smart911, a free service that allows residents to create a safety profile to aid first responders. Creating an account privately stores information such as medical conditions, special needs, photos, pet data, and more in a secure database only accessible to law enforcement if you dial 911. Dispatchers relay preloaded information to the responding officer to serve you better!  

Create a profile by visiting the Smart911 website.
