Autism & Law Enforcement Community Connections
Autism New Jersey supports law enforcement in their outreach efforts to the autism community. Law enforcement can, among other strategies, provide “leave behind” cards with local officers’ and Autism New Jersey’s contact information. Similarly, we encourage autistic individuals, their families, and those professionals who support them to connect with law enforcement. A first step can be connection letters.
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT | Police have an opportunity to engage with the autism community, share specific practice information, and establish relationships with their residents with autism. FOR AUTISTIC INDIVIDUALS | Autistic individuals can engage with local law enforcement to introduce themselves and learn about autism-friendly practices and law enforcement-sponsored programs that might be mutually beneficial. FOR FAMILIES OF INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM | Families of individuals with autism can engage with local law enforcement to introduce their loved one with autism and learn about autism-friendly practices and law enforcement-sponsored programs. FOR EDUCATORS | Educators can connect with local law enforcement to relay accurate autism-friendly practice information to the individuals and families they serve.
