ASCEND Registry

ASCEND is a voluntary registry for individuals with a physical, mental, or developmental condition, and the caretakers of such individuals. The registry, which is only accessible by the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office and 911 Call Center, allows first responders to be aware that the individual to whom they are responding has a preexisting mental health concern, developmental disability, health condition, or has a religious or cultural consideration. The goal of this program is to ensure that all Oneida County residents who have special needs are able to get the support and resources that they need in a time of emergency or during an interaction with law enforcement, fire, or EMS personnel.
