The Brownsville Police Department is rolling out a new program called Rapid SOS.

The program will help dispatchers know the medical history of people registered in their database.

Brownsville residents can register for free, and police say it can be an essential tool for people with disabilities.

The information provided gives dispatchers and responding officers the information they need to help keep residents safe.

"It's really important for anyone who is not able to communicate their emergency when they call 911. Dispatchers will be able to pull up their profile and have all their medical information conditions listed for that household or anybody that creates those profiles," Brownsville Police Department Public Information Officer Abril Luna said.
