City of Pharr Launches Innovative Public Safety Sticker Program

Pharr, Texas – The City of Pharr is excited to announce the launch of the Public Safety Sticker Program, a new initiative designed to enhance interactions between first responders and citizens with special needs such as Autism, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, or Deafness. This program is part of the city’s commitment to ensuring the highest level of customer service and safety for all residents.

The Public Safety Sticker Program provides reflective stickers that can be placed on the rear window of a vehicle or the window of a residence. These stickers serve as a clear indicator to first responders that they may need to adjust their approach to accommodate an individual’s specific needs when responding to an emergency. For instance, in the event of a car accident involving a child with autism, the sticker will alert first responders to the need for a more sensitive and informed approach, reducing the child’s anxiety and improving the overall response.

Pharr residents can participate in the program by completing a simple form identifying their special needs and providing basic information about themselves. This application is reviewed by a group of public safety officials within the City of Pharr. Once approved, participants can receive their stickers at the Pharr Public Safety Communications Center, where staff will install the vehicle stickers. For residential stickers, the Pharr Police Department Community Engagement Unit will install the sticker on a window clearly visible from the street.

The City of Pharr is dedicated to continuously improving the quality of life and safety for its residents. The Public Safety Sticker Program is a testament to this commitment, offering a valuable resource for residents with special needs and ensuring they receive the compassionate and effective assistance they deserve from first responders.
