12 PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPARTMENT DIRECTIVE 3.14 APPENDIX C Issued Date: Effective Date: Updated Date: SUBJECT: PROTECTIVE SERVICES FOR OLDER ADULTS 1. BACKGROUND A. The Older Adults Protective Services Act (Act 79) is designed to protect the abused, neglected, exploited, and abandoned elderly in Pennsylvania. This Act gives the local area agency on aging (Philadelphia Corporation for Aging) responsibility for developing and maintaining a protective services plan for vulnerable older adults age 60 and above. B. The Older Adults Protective Services Act (79) reads (in part): It is declared the policy of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that older adults who lack the capacity to protect themselves and are at imminent risk of abuse, neglect, exploitation or abandonment, shall have access to and be provided with services necessary to protect their health, safety, and welfare. It is not the purpose of this Act to place restrictions upon the personal liberty of incapacitated older adults, but this Act should be liberally constructed to assure the availability of protective services to all older adults in need of them. Such services shall safeguard the rights of incapacitated older adults while protecting them from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and abandonment. 2. POLICY A. Whenever police personnel are aware of a person who is at least 60 years of age and is at risk of abuse, neglect, exploitation or abandonment pursuant to the Protective Services Act, the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) will be contacted and police assistance will be provided upon request. 1. The Philadelphia Corporation for Aging can be contacted at (215) xxx-xxxx on a 24-hour basis, and is located at 642 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA There is always an investigator and supervisor on-call. DIRECTIVE APPENDIX C

15 PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPARTMENT DIRECTIVE 3.14 APPENDIX D Issued Date: Effective Date: Updated Date: SUBJECT: HEAT EMERGENCIES 1. POLICY A. The plan is designed to provide identification, outreach, and intervention to those most at risk of heat stress. Age, chronic disease, housing, physical condition, substance abuse, and medication usage are variables used to select the most vulnerable populations. 2. PURPOSE A. The Philadelphia Department of Public Health (DPH), Division of Health Promotion has lead responsibility for implementing and monitoring emergency summer heat intervention and outreach activities. The Health Promotion Division will have primary responsibility for over-seeing and responding to Summer Heat Emergency (SHE) operational issues. The Philadelphia Police Department s role in these situations are limited. 3. TARGET POPULATION A. The Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Heat Wave Task Forces and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have identified the following as risk factors which help us define the target population: 1. Elderly 2. Chronic disease, particularly cardiovascular 3. People who are culturally, socially, or geographically isolated 4. People who live alone 5. Lack of increased fluid intake 6. High heat environment or increased physical activity 7. People who are homeless 8. People who do not speak English 9. People who cannot read 10. No air conditioning in the home 11. Not being able to care for oneself (infants left in wrong environment) 12. No time spent in air conditioning other than their home DIRECTIVE APPENDIX D

16 13. No reduction in activity 14. Substance abuse and alcoholism 15. Maintaining normal activity level B. The group most at risk is older people, living alone in non-air conditioned structures and who have cardiovascular disease. 1. Heart disorders are often caused by the inability of the body to keep up with the demands on its circulatory system and the resulting chemical imbalance caused by too much sweating. The inner core of the body's temperature begins to rise and heat-related illnesses develop. 2. Since an older persons natural cooling system has been altered through the process of aging, they are at greater risk. They are also more likely than the rest of the population to be taking medications that alter the body's ability to cool down. C. Children are also at risk because they produce more metabolic heat per pound of body weight, perspire less and direct less blood flow to their proportionally greater surface area than adults. Infants are more easily dehydrated and are not able to drink liquids on their own. Additionally, every year children die because they are in an automobile with the windows closed. D. People with low incomes are often more vulnerable to heat illness because they have reduced access to good housing, air conditioning, transportation, medical care, and other supportive services. They are also unlikely to use fans or air conditioners, even when they are available, because they feel they cannot afford higher utility bills. 4. HOT WEATHER HEALTH WATCH WARNING SYSTEM A. Philadelphia has field-tested and instituted a new Hot Weather-Health Watch/Warning System (PWWS), to alert the city's residents of potentially oppressive weather situations which could negatively affect health. 1. Media announcements: The media (television, radio stations, and the newspapers) are contacted and informed of all declarations by the Health Commissioner and are provided with information on how to avoid heat-related illnesses during oppressive weather. Press releases and notifications of warnings will be issued to the media in advance of the Commissioner s Health Warning. 2. Activation of the Heat Line : When the Health Commissioner declares a warning, the Heat Line, a hotline operated in conjunction with the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) is activated to provide information and counseling to the general public on avoidance from heat stress (telephone (215) xxx-xxxx). DIRECTIVE APPENDIX D

17 5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF POLICE A. Check on the well-being of the most at-risk individuals as described above. B. Anyone in need of, or requesting transportation to a medical facility will be taken to the nearest hospital. C. Police districts with air conditioning will open their facilities to citizens seeking a cool environment. If a person seeks shelter at a police district, the Department of Human Services (DHS) will be notified at (215) xxx-xxxx or xxxx to provide the location of the nearest cooling center. D. Requests for electric fans can directed to the PCA Senior help line (business hours only) at (215) xxx-xxxx. E. When beat officers are not on an assignment, they will make visits to senior citizens they know are living alone to check on their well-being. F. Any death as a result of the heat emergency will be reported to the Philadelphia Medical Examiner s Office at (215) xxx-xxxx. G. In all cases where an officer encounters a young child left inside a vehicle in the extreme heat and are unable to quickly remove the child, Fire Department Medics and a street supervisor should be notified. DHS and Special Victims Unit should also be contacted. H. A computer message will be sent by Police Radio upon notification from DPH or the Office of the Managing Director. The message will contain information that the Health Watch Warning system has been activated. This information as well as other instructions relating to the heat emergency will be sent to all police terminals on an updated basis. Police Radio will also broadcast on J band the information that a Code Red has been declared and the above outlined procedures will be in effect. I. Close open fire hydrants.

PURPOSE A. An act of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, (35 P.S. S.10011, et seq.) imposes certain obligations on both police officers and citizens in relation to the above. 2. PROCEDURE A. Persons found in semi-conscious or unconscious condition or exhibiting symptoms due to epileptic or diabetic illness shall immediately be transported to the nearest hospital for treatment by a physician. B. This action shall include the specific inferences outlined in Directive 5.6 Intoxicated Persons in Police Custody as well as requirements for Hospital Cases specified in this directive. 1. One method by which the officer, supervisor or turnkey can make a determination as to an individual s condition is to check for an identification bracelet, card or tag which contains the type of illness, persons name, physician s name, and medication requirements. This information is either engraved, stamped or imprinted thereon and may be in possession of the individual at the time of occurrence. C. Any person who willfully and knowingly falsifies such identification or deliberately misrepresents an illness as described above shall be guilty of a Misdemeanor of the 3 rd degree, Unsworn Falsification to Authorities PCC 4904, and upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or to undergo imprisonment for not more than one (1) year or both.
