PROJECT R.E.S.P.E.C.T. File of Life The Franklin Township Police Department is pleased to announce the Franklin Township "File of Life." The "File of Life" is a medical information packet designed to provide emergency personnel with necessary medical information to begin immediate treatment. The "File of Life" will replace the old VIAL OF LIFE. The VIAL OF LIFE was a small vial kept in the refrigerator which contained a small piece of paper with medical information on it. Problems occurred with the small vial getting lost in the refrigerator which delayed emergency personnel as well as moisture accumulating in the vial which made the sheet unreadable. The "File of Life" refrigerator magnet is a red vinyl packet containing a medical information card for each household member. It also has a sticker which is placed on the front door or window of the house. The "File of Life" is used in 49 states and 2.5 million households nationwide. The program has saved dozens of lives. What It Does Quickly provides important personal medical information and emergency contact numbers to medical/police personnel responding to a medical emergency at your home. How It Works
Each person in your home must
have THEIR OWN information card. Multiple cards may be placed in one magnetic
pouch. If you have questions or are
interested in obtaining a "File of Life" packet please
contact Officer Brian Farrar at (732) 873-5533 extension 3134, Officer
Jolanda Lacewell at (732) 873-5533 extension 3126 or Officer Emma Bascom
at (732) 873-5533 extension 3146.
