To Inform Families First
TIFF is an emergency contact registration tied to a person's driver's license or state ID. This simple yet life-changing step provides law enforcement who "you" want contacted on your behalf when the unexpected emergency happens. It's easy, only taking a couple minutes, free and uses your current driver's license or State-issued I.D. Card. Taking just a few minutes today could make all the difference tomorrow.
