In the event of an arrest, these steps will be taken to ensure that your responsibilities and other needs are taken care of...
1. Memorize your lawyer’s phone number asap. If you don’t have a lawyer, memorize this number:_____________________
2. Memorize your Emergency Contact Person’s (ECP) phone number. In jail, they may only allow one call. If this is the case, give your emergency contact person’s phone number to the lawyer’s secretary when you call and usually they don’t mind calling for you. If you meet with your lawyer prior to arrest, you can also put this information on file.
Emergency contact person: _________________________
Phone: _______________

List children/pets:
Circle one Name of Emergency Care Person and phone
Child Pet Other ______________________________
(Use back of this sheet if more space is needed)
3. List an emergency care person for each child/pet and their contact info (if different from Emergency Contact Person.)
Your Emergency Contact Person will contact each care person and they will carry out your instructions.
4. If you have Children, create a daily schedule on a separate sheet of paper and keep it updated. Make sure the emergency contact as well as the emergency care people have this information in advance. You may also want to have a pet feeding/walking schedule.
5. Have a plan for what you will tell your friends / lovers / family / children / school / job/ etc. if an arrest occurs.
