TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (WTOC) - The Tybee Island Police Department now has a new tool to better serve the community.

They just announced they’re participating in Logan’s List.

It’s a database that allows neighbors to register the names of people with special needs in their homes, helping officers better respond to those situations.

It’s been around in Georgia since 2021.

Originally named after autistic young girl Logan Stuart, lawmakers created this program when they passed Logan’s Law in 2021. Tybee Police Department joined the voluntary program to better serve the community.

In 2010, a Tybee Island police officer used a stun gun on an autistic teen. Authorities said the teen appeared drunk and became agitated outside a bar.
