What is a VIP (Vulnerable Impaired Person)? Michigan law, MCL 28.274(d), defines a VIP as follows: "An individual with special health care needs" means a single or married individual whose activity is or may become so restricted by disease or specified medical condition as to reduce the individual's normal capacity for education and self-support.”
MHPD VIP registration is available, free of charge, to all Madison Heights VIP residents or VIPs attending a school or a care facility in Madison Heights.
A parent/legal guardian/power of attorney will act on behalf of the VIP and submit a MHPD VIP Form located on the City of Madison Heights web site or available by email request at MHPDVIP@Madison-Heights.org.
The information supplied will be entered into our dispatch data to create a premise alert (flag the address). This may assist first responders when responding to a location or with re-uniting a VIP with family or guardians.
Dispatch will be able to search all VIP entries by address, name, or generically by searching all “VIP” dispatch entries.
