Chenango County Sheriff’s Office, NYS Sheriff’s Association partner to offer Yellow Dot
NORWICH – In an effort to better serve and protect the citizens of Chenango County, Chenango County Sheriff Ernest R. Cutting and the New York State Sheriff’s Association are partnering to offer Yellow Dot, a free program that provides vital medical information to first responders.
A joint effort of the state’s Sheriff’s Association and more than 30 county sheriffs, the program will launch this week, designed to help first responders provide life-saving medical attention during the first “golden hour” after a crash or other emergency.
Said Executive Director of the Sheriff’s Association Peter Kehoe, “When you can’t speak for yourself, Yellow Dot can speak for you.”
The Yellow Dot kit contains a medical information card and a decal. Participants complete the card, attach a recent photo, place it in the glove compartment of their vehicle and place the Yellow Dot decal on the rear driver’s side window. First responders arriving at the scene of an emergency will be alerted by the Yellow Dot decal to look for the medical information card in the glove compartment.
Said Cutting, “This program will get the vital information to first responders and medical personnel, saving precious time and helping the public we serve.”
Funded by Sheriff Cutting and the NYS Sheriff’s Association, the Yellow Dot program is a free service available to individuals of all ages. The Chenango County Sheriff’s Office will distribute Yellow Dot kits to the public. Kits can also be mailed by visiting nysheriffs.org/yellowdot.
The NYS Sheriff’s Association, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation, formed in 1934, for the purpose of assisting sheriff’s in the efficient and effective delivery of sheriff’s services to the public. It comprises all of the elected and appointed sheriffs of New York State.
