This program allows first responders to gain entry into a senior’s home in the event of an emergency, without breaking in if the resident is unable to get to the door.
The lockbox code is known only to police and fire first respondents, and only used in the case of an emergency. Scottsdale REALTORS® purchases the lockboxes and assists the Fire Department with placing lockboxes on homes for the City of Scottsdale and Town of Fountain Hills.
The model has also been duplicated in various municipalities around the Valley. To date, Scottsdale REALTORS® has distributed more than 5,000 Lockboxes for Seniors in Scottsdale and Fountain Hills.
