The Wallet Card Project is a comprehensive project that works with both law enforcement and people with disabilities to ensure safe police interactions.
The project includes a communication tool called a wallet card that helps a person disclose their disability to law enforcement.
We also have a caregiver card that family members can carry that has information about their family member with a disability.
We also have police training available for all law enforcement agencies.
We are proud to announce that the US Patent and Trademark Office has declared our name “The Wallet Card” as incontestable undersection sections 8 and 15. This is fantastic news for our project and means that the name is ours and that no one else can use it. The project is protected from anyone trying to copy the name.
This year we had 2,850 wallet card requests and we made 2,365 wallet cards. 1,801 were wallet cards and 1,049 were caregiver cards. We received requests from over 20 different countries and even from two US Military Bases overseas.
To date, we have made over 12,000 wallet cards and have given our police training to 83 departments that have trained more than 20,000 personnel.
