The Goochland County Sheriff’s Office is committed to providing the best possible service to the residents of Goochland County. We are proud to introduce the future launch of the Goochland Handle with Care Program.
This program is designed to meet the needs of residents who may require special assistance during both emergency and non-emergency situations. The Goochland Handle with Care Program will support persons or families of persons with special physical, behavioral and/or psychological needs.
​
QUALIFICATIONS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO PERSONS LIVING WITH THE FOLLOWING:
Autism
Asperger’s Syndrome
Behavioral Disorders
Cerebral Palsy
Cystic Fibrosis
Dementia
Developmental Delays
Hearing Impairment
Immobility
Mental Disorders
Neurological Disabilities
Seizure Disorders
Speech Impairment
Vision Impairment
Once the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office verifies a Goochland Handle with Care application, an alert will be entered into the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office CAD system.
Once a resident’s Goochland Handle with Care application has been approved, the resident/family will receive decals to place on their vehicle(s) and the door(s) to their residence for additional alerts to first responders of their special needs.
When GCSO receives a call related to the applicant’s address or vehicle identification provided via the application, the responding deputy(deputies) will receive an alert detailing to HANDLE WITH CARE.
This program is primarily administered by the GCSO Community Division.
