Program Spotlight: C.H.A.N.C.E. Alert Card

Beginning on Saturday, February 1, residents and frequent visitors of Brevard County with autism, hearing impairment, and other communication disorders can sign up for a Citizen Has a Noticeable Crisis Episode (C.H.A.N.C.E.) Alert Card. The individual with a mental or neurological disability would show a law enforcement officer the card during an encounter to prevent confusion about how to communicate. Enrolling in this program may also help a missing special needs child or dependent adult be found more quickly. To obtain a C.H.A.N.C.E. Alert Card, one must fill out a registration form and turn it in along with a photo and supporting documents at one of the five Brevard County Sheriff precincts. For more information, go to https://www.brevardsheriff.com/home/commands-services/community-services/community-programs/chance-card-program/.
