The Muskegon County "Yellow Dot" program started small in 2019 with money from Mercy Health and took a big step forward in 2020 with additional funding from the Muskegon County Senior Millage. But due to COVID-19, police and fire departments around Muskegon County weren't able to hold open houses and community safety events to introduce community members to Yellow Dot. So the 10 police and 14 fire agencies in Muskegon County participating in Yellow Dot are using social media to let drivers know about the program. Yellow Dot is explained by members of Norton Shores Police and Fire in a video recently posted to YouTube. "The information can mean the difference between life and death," said Norton Shores Police Sergeant Dan Hibler in the video.
