These terms (“Agreement”) govern your participation with the NPSAID. By submitting your information or the information of a family member or person you are authorized to represent, you (“User”, “Participant”, etc..) agree to comply with and be bound by these terms and conditions.

1. Purpose NPSAID: The NPSAID is a 100% voluntary program designed to assist police, emergency responders, and other relevant personnel in responding to situations involving individuals with disabilities. The information provided in the NPSAID will be used solely by authorized law enforcement agencies and emergency response teams to better understand the needs of participating individuals in the event of various matters, to include but not be limited to, crisis situations, law enforcement contact, missing persons, emergency medical incidents and to enhance safety for both the participant and first responders during interactions.

2. Acknowledgment of Use by Police and First Responders: By enrolling in the NPSAID, you acknowledge and agree that:

      • The information you provide may be accessed by police, first responders, and other authorized emergency personnel to assist in responding to emergencies or other situations involving the individual listed in NPSAID.
      • These first responders may use the information to better prepare for interactions, assess specific needs, and offer appropriate support and take legally appropriate action.

3. No Guarantee of Access or Participation by Agencies: You understand and agree that:

      • There is no guarantee that law enforcement, emergency responders, or other relevant agencies will always be able to access the NPSAID or the information you provide.
      • While the NPSAID is designed to provide crucial information during interactions, there are numerous reasons an official may not have access to the information provided to include unforeseen technical issues, system outages, availability of agency resources at the time of the incident, or other disruptions that may prevent first responders from accessing the data in a timely manner.
      • Participation in the NPSAID by law enforcement agencies is not a requirement, and not all law enforcement agencies or emergency response teams participate in the program and many will not have access to the NPSAID database.

4. Participation of Law Enforcement Agencies: If a NPSAID participating law enforcement agency or first responder agency chooses to include participant information in their dispatch or communication systems, they may add the data provided by you to their internal systems. This information may be shared and utilized during an emergency response. However, it is understood that the use of this information depends on the policies and practices of the participating agency and is beyond the control of the NPSAID or Online Policing Solutions, Inc.

5. Responsibility for Accuracy of Information: You are responsible for ensuring that the information provided in the NPSAID is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. The NPSAID does not automatically update information once it is submitted, so it is your responsibility to make any changes or updates to the participant’s condition, contact information, or other relevant details.

6. Privacy and Data Security: We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the information you provide. However, by participating in the NPSAID, you understand and acknowledge that the information may be shared with authorized law enforcement, first responders, and other emergency personnel, as outlined in these Terms. The security of this data depends, in part, on the security measures of the participating agencies. As with any web based network system, there is NO GUARANTEE that the information provided will not be exposed by hackers or other unforeseen circumstances and you provide the information understanding this risk.

7. Limitation of Liability: You understand and agree that the NPSAID is a tool designed to assist law enforcement and emergency responders. However, the NPSAID, Online Policing Solutions, Inc., and all participating agencies, do not guarantee the effectiveness or completeness of the NPSAID in all emergency situations. The NPSAID, Online Policing Solutions, Inc., and the participating agencies shall not be held liable for any failure to provide timely or accurate assistance based on the NPSAID information, nor for any actions or omissions by law enforcement or first responders.

8. Termination of Access: The NPSAID reserves the right to terminate your access to the NPSAID at any time if you violate these Terms of Service or if there are other circumstances that necessitate the removal of your information from the NPSAID. You may also remove your information from the NPSAID at anytime. You can receive assistance with removing your information by contacting your participating law enforcement agency or by submitting a request to support@opspolice.com.

      • You are either providing accurate information about yourself or another that you are legally authorized to represent.
      • You agree that all information provided is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge.
