The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department offers three public safety initiatives to senior residents of Suffolk County. The Elderly Identification Program provides seniors with an identification card that can be used as a second form of identification and also has contact and medical information if an emergency situation arises. Crime Prevention Tips for Seniors is a brochure that the Department passes out that contains many useful tips to help seniors recognize the warning signs of criminal activity. The Safety in Numbers Program is designed to provide seniors of Suffolk County with high definition numbered plaques that can be affixed to the front and back of their homes. The purpose of the plaques is to assist family, friends and especially emergency personnel such as paramedics, police and firefighters to quickly locate the proper address when called upon.
