Chandler Police Department offers residents a Senior Lockbox Program for emergency access
Have you ever wondered what would happen if an emergency arises and you call 9-1-1 but aren’t able to open the door when help arrives? This is especially true with senior citizens who suffer a fall, stroke or heart attack. In these instances, every second counts.
The Chandler Police Department offers a Senior Lockbox program to its residents. The program provides lockboxes for emergency personnel to gain access to the senior’s home after being summoned there for emergency purposes. Your information and the code to the lockbox is provided only to police officers and firefighters in the event there is an emergency call to your home.
While the lockbox provides an alternative to forced entry, in the event of a time sensitive situation (person not breathing, fire, etc.), emergency personnel may not have the time to use the lockbox system and will gain entry with the fastest means possible. Every effort will be given to utilize the lockbox when time permits.
If you have questions please contact the Chandler Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit at 480-782-4960.
