Good Morning: We have an emergency telephone system

I recently found out about another program that Stephenson County offers its residents. It is called the Premier Alert Program. If you live alone or have medical issues, you can certainly take advantage of this program.
You request information and fill out some paperwork and send it to the address that is on the form. You need to make sure that the information is correct and update it every two years. The police department and the Stephenson County telecommunicators use this information and store it safely for you in their computer system. This is just another safety tool for us to use as we age.
