Mission Statement
The mission of the Lower Makefield Township Disability Advisory Board is to educate and advise the Township and broader community about issues affecting people with disabilities; promoting inclusion, safety and equal access for everyone.
Handle With Care Program
The Lower Makefield Township Police Department is excited to announce an updated program called Handle with Care. The Handle with Care program is a multifaceted approach to effectively serving those with mental health and/or special needs. This program implements a special needs registry while giving focus to training officers on mental health / special needs response.
The program formerly required registering in person or via mail, but now registrations may be made on-line. Those interested in submitting mental health / special needs information can do so by using the following link: https://bucks.crimewatchpa.com/lowermakefieldtwppd/17384/slideshows/handle-care-registry
