Got the Dot? Program

The Got the Dot? program is a statewide initiative designed to provide vital medical information on drivers and passenger to first responders. This medical information will remain in the glove box of the vehicle and will assist first responders in the "Golden Hour" immediately following a serious traffic crash or medical emergency. This can often mean the difference between life and death. The medical information cards and yellow dot decals are available at the Village Hall. There is no charge for this program.
