I.C.E. YOUR CELL PHONE

It happens all too frequently. Officers or medics are treating an unconscious or semiconscious person and need to contact a relative or emergency contact person, but who should they call. Most times the officers start going through the victims purse or wallet looking for identifying paperwork and hoping to find the right person to contact. If that person has a cell phone the officers frequently start calling numbers to get in touch with that right person. This all takes time and many people may be contacted that the victim did not wish to be contacted. What can you do to make sure the right person is contacted without delay if you are ever in that situation?

I.C.E. your cell phone.

ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. To ICE your cell phone add an entry in the
contacts list or phone book of your cell phone, and title it ICE. Insert the name(s) and phone
number(s) of the person(s) that emergency services should call on your behalf. This will save them a lot of time and help insure that the correct person(s) are contacted
quickly. It only takes a few moments of your time to do.

Paramedics and police officers know what ICE means and they look for it immediately.
