PREMISE ALERT

The Illinois Premise Alert Program Act, enacted in 2009, ensures that consistently high levels of public safety services are available to all residents of Illinois, including those who may require special consideration when accessing emergency services. The program is designed to give individuals with disabilities and/or special needs the same level of protection while also alerting first responders to circumstances that may require special handling.

How It Works in Barrington Hills

If you live or work within the Village of Barrington Hills, you may complete a Premise Alert Program Form to provide details about a disability or special need. Once submitted, this information will be securely placed on file with our dispatch center.

When emergency personnel respond to a call from your address, they will be notified that special accommodations may be needed, helping them to provide faster, safer, and more effective service.

Family Enrollment

If you have a family member or relative with a disability or special need, you may also enroll them in the program by completing the form and returning it to the Police Department.
