In 2000, the Michigan Association of Fire Chiefs and the Fire Marshal Division
of the Department of State Police developed and distributed a model Standard Operating
Guideline (SOG) to all fire departments. The Michigan Department of State Police
developed policy on the Safe Delivery of Newborns Act that is available to law
enforcement agencies upon request.
The Michigan Health and Hospital Association has also developed policy on
the Safe Delivery of Newborns Act which is available to hospitals by calling
(517) 703-8601. A Response and Resource Handbook has been developed for emergency
service providers that includes the tools and information necessary to ensure
a successful surrender of a newborn. It is available in hard copy or it can
be downloaded from the DHS Web site. To order a copy of the handbook call (517)
324-7330.
